My daughter and my husband xD They're awesome!!! ~ <3

The biggest things to impact my life are my lack of completing schooling and still getting used to people/family being aware of my sexual orientation.

My biggest impact has always been my heroes, from Batman to Kirby. That's what influenced my decisions in life.

Work, income. Having the money to buy the things I want or need. Well, preferably the things I need. It is amazing how an economic downturn can change the way one lives.

When times are good I am able to get out more, take more photos, upgrade my equipment, purchase book to advance my craft. But when times are like what we have had for the last two years all of the above is greatly curtailed.

My beliefs.

My mother was a big part of how I lived when I was younger, but when I became a teenager and leaving home to go to college it's been more my friends. Opening my mind and broadening my horizon's positively and negatively, which ultimately leads back to positive because I'm not building my own code, my own way of living from various experiences. My mother was the basis, the scaffolding, the framework, my friends have become the facade, the decoration and what people remember. Other aspects of life make up other things

Calvin and Hobbes.

society for me, like meeting creative and influential people, whether it be in real life or over the internet!

I dont know if Im tooting my own horn here, but my parents have definitly shaped the greater part of who I am; not in becoming mini-versions of them, but in becoming me through encouragement and unconditional love. I think of myself as fortunate to have parents like them for how they prepared me intellectually, morally, and spiritually for the world of today (and all without being religious or pushy at all).

Parents need a bit more appreciation nowadays.

The biggest impact on how i live my life, is myself. No-one can be a better me, so no-one can really show me how to live.
