"Don't try to fit me in a box. My life is not one dimensional. I'm the summer breeze and the hurricane. I'm the serene lake and the raging ocean. I'm the gentle poet and the rough warrior. I can build and I can destroy... I can romance and I can ravage... I can be wise and I can be silly... I can and WILL be everything that the length, depth, and breadth of life will allow... KNOW THIS! Your labels don't limit me. they limit your experience of me. Don't confuse the two."
