Hi. My name is Amanda.
Theories on life:
~I am a huge believer in honesty. There may be no real truth to anything, but there is beliefs. And those beliefs should be expressed.
~Another thing I tell people is I ask them which they would rather work with: Walking down a sidewalk that looks old and cracked through a neighborhood with dismal surroundings, or this exact same situation coated in fog.
~In case you didn't understand that metaphor: The fog represents dishonesty. The cracks in the sidewalk represent the imperfections of the world.
~I know who I am and I know my purpose in life. And I'm glad to be one of the few people who can say that.
~I prefer living on the edge to being trapped in a safety bubble.
