Facts about Myself: I was born in Portland, Oregon, spent most of my life in Asheville, North Carolina, then moved to Knoxville, TN in 9th grade. I am one of seven children, four of which are older than me. I love learning foreign languages and have thus far studied Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, French, a little Korean, and a minuscule amount of Russian. Music also plays a big part in my life, though I can't play an instrument or sing to save my life. Chihuahuas are my favorite dog.
Philosophy?: To me, finding your own philosophy is like finding your reason to live. Without a philosophy to live by, you're just floating around without a purpose and without direction. That being said, I also think asking too many questions about the existential purpose of life can be draining and possibly self-destructive.
How Have Others Influenced My Philosophy?: Just by demonstrating to me either traits I'd like to see and adopt for myself or showing me how I really would not like to be. Like many others, I've probably been influenced in some way by every person I've ever met (or observed).
