Doing laundry, cleaning, packing for SALEM! :D

a New Guinea bushman.

39. My most treasured possession is...
This laptop... I might love Jared more than anything, but no amount of diamond rings will ever replace the files on this hard drive, or the ease of creating new files and filling them with amazing words...
40. My favorite pictures...
Inspire me.
