twenty years. a high school degree and an enrollment in a private university. learned a second language. the urge to learn at least two more. separated parents. a queer orientation, in both senses of the word. a really fucked up identity that i'm trying to figure out. optimism on tuesdays, wednesdays, and fridays. perhaps. no idea what i will do with my life but i will help people. a desire to get to know you and a fear of just the same.
