Why I Do What I Do
Ever since I was young, all I have ever done is discover new places and events just waiting to be experienced. I would also tell others about what I saw, heard, and felt. Before really meaning to I turned everything into a fantastical adventure. I’ve always had a wild imagination and it’s a lot of fun to explore. Many people have told me that it would get me nowhere when in fact it has gotten me everywhere. I’ve seen and experienced more than they or I could have ever dreamed of.
