So... I work in the mental health field, answering crisis calls from clients and their families. It gets pretty intense and scary sometimes, but I love what I do. It's a wonderful thing to be able to help a person find a little hope, and it's always amazing to me how much a humble attitude of compassion can help your fellow man so much.

However, even though I like my job, I'm pretty sick of corporate life. It really comes in such blatant contrast with my life philosophy on many levels. I hate feeling caged and trapped in someone else's trip, and the corporate thing, although it pays well , it does not, for example allow me to just get up and go to Thailand for a month if I feel like it, or if I'm just desperate for good coffee, stunning art and great food, I can't just pack up and visit my relatives in Tuscany.

Besides, the scope of healing is rather limited for me at my current job. My internal sense of accomplishment and desire to grow feels kind of repressed. So I decided to switch careers and get into massage therapy.

I like to travel, and drink hot beverages in rooftop cafes. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I really like to study the art of different cultures. I like the secret freedom of late night conversations. I sometimes enjoy taking pictures with my ancient, non digital camera, and sleeping late.
