Quotation/Lyric: I have a ton of these! I'm a collector, remember? Anywhoo, here's a few (hey it rhymed too!):
"Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today." - James Dean
"I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are,
because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star.
I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far,
for a might-have-been has never been, but a has was once an are." - Milton Berle
"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." - Brian Littrell

Personal
Hopes, dreams, wishes for the present and future: To continue being happy in general, to travel around the world with nothing but a backpack and a camera, photograph different cultures/continents. This one's not too realistic but I'd like to visit outer space. Well, you know, maybe in the future...
What is your ultimate dream to achieve?: Look at what I said in the question before this one. Yeah, my ultimate dream would be visiting outer space.
What is the greatest lesson you have learned?: Life goes on. Change is natural and it should be accepted, embraced.. Another quote could sum it up real quickly here: "Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed." - Wayne Dyer
Something you admire/love/respect: Courage & a thirst for adventure. I've always wanted to be more courageous and risk taking.
Something you detest greatly: Homophobia and all kind of intolerance and hatred.
If you could have one "supernatural" power, what would it be?: I would most definitely want to fly! In my dreams I always have wings. or maybe giant springs under my feet which allow me to jump high and almost kind of fly.
Where do you feel most at home?: When I'm wandering aimlessly in nature and taking photos. Or under the stars at night.
Do you have any creative talents?: I love photography but I don't know if I'm any good at it. I make icons/wallpapers and such too. Sometimes I feel like doing some art like painting or whatsoever. I doodle sometimes too.
Where is your favourite place to be, and why? Under the stars at night just watching them because they give me great comfort and they calm me. Wandering aimlessly in nature because I can think and observe everything around me.
