If your opinions are not consistently right or wrong but come to you as surreal dreams, flagrantly different and alive, if you have moved beyond the gender rules and the stereotypical male and females roles, if you are driven to hope and mild eccentricity, if you have dignity and purpose and can dream you ass off, if you are revolutionary in your Love, and believe in falling in love for however long it lasts, if you like attention but are the last to need it, if you are talked about for your actions in the world, if you have passion in all things that you do, a love of the arts, and a "I don’t give a damn what people think" attitude, if you can champion your own life, if your life has been full of twists and turns and small journeys off the beaten path, if you are vividly complex to the observer, yet consistent between your thought and action, then I want to be among the ones you shock, inspire, and astound. Life is too short to continue waiting to meet you and I miss your presence in my life.  If I have to advertise for your inspiration, then call me that freak.
