I am:

a student, a boyfriend, a humanist, a feminist, a liberal, a queer, a reader, a writer, a listener, and a survivor;

incorrigible, stubborn, caring, crazy, valued, strong, thoughtful, reserved, surprised, sexual, happy, lucky, overweight, comfortable, loved, and needed;

running away from home, speaking the truth, digging deeper, writing down the bones, getting the hell out of dodge, laughing too much, throwing caution to the wind, and teaching otherwise perfectly good books how to fly.


...and to think that that's just my day job.
