the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars

fovrite is a much more unique, interesting, and slightly mad sounding alternative to the norm.

I think the people for me are the ones who are searching and seeking to find truth, to find the more in life, I like to be around people who are birthing themselves anew every day and live their life in that way. I hope to spend the rest of my life hoping to grow, learn, change, evolve into greater consciousness while finding my fullest potential.
