Personal Manifesto.The Definition of Me.
My life is a beautiful harmony of adrenaline and tranquility.
Sometimes it feels like a controlled chaos. And I love it. In
the past year I’ve jumped backwards off a waterfall,
breathed fire, started hiking at midnight to see the sunrise
from the top of a mountain, and ran a marathon just to prove
to myself that I could. Everything I do helps to shape who I
am. I am strong. I am happy. I am proud of who I am, and
that is what best defines me.
