I think most of us are raised with preconceived notions of the choices we're supposed to make.

Nobody says, 'Just be happy - go be a cobbler or go live with goats.'

The universe, it balances. It makes sure you don't get a head that's too big. I love it.
I was afraid of being a failure, of not having the best time or of being chicken. But every year I get older I think, What was I fearing last year?' You forget. And then you move on.
I have friends and family that are filled with massive amounts of integrity. And it shouldn't be an oddity.
Forensics I've always found absolutely fascinating. Anything to do with clues. And checking things out and solving.
