Destined for a life filled with Art, Romance, and Self-Expression

In my heart, there is a wish and a promise to live a life profusely immersed in the heights and depths of existence. To fill every spare moment with the joys, delights, and concerns of Man. So that, at the final wrap party, when I am saying good-bye to a story in which I will never again have the chance to recreate, I will resplend in the knowing it was a worthwhile time spent.
