    • About Me

      Im lost at the moment trying to find out who this person I see every morning is.. I'm a public school teacher and want to do more... I'm perfectly functional and put on great mask to cover up the battle I'm fighting daily, I'm a dreamer, I'm an "emotional hemophiliac", I'm eccentric, I'm looking for love, I have great empathy for all suffering, and I'm waiting for the day that I will feel real happiness...
