'Adventures With'
I like adventures. I like the outdoors. I like new and interesting things. My biggest fear is becoming boring. I seek new experiences not only because I want to.. but because I need to. I have a short attention span, but I don't see this as a bad thing, it is who I am.

'My Two Left'
I have 2 left feet. Metaphorically speaking that is. I blame the fact that they are small. However, they are actually pretty amazing things. They make me who I am and they take me on adventures. Yes, my two left feet can be a bit of a disadvantage. But I wouldn't be me without them. Thus, I like my two left feet. Which is just as well because they sure as heck aren't going anywhere.
I like docs (Short for Dr Martens - a type of shoe, for those wondering). Perhaps maybe even love? I have always loved Docs but it wasn't until I shifted to Wellington and stopped worrying what people thought that I really embraced this. Living in Dunedin I was too scared to stand out because I was worried about what people would say. I wanted Docs, but wasn't brave enough. Shifting to Wellington gave me a change in perspective hence creating a waterfall effect for my love for docs... I bought 6 pairs within 6 months. Docs to me symbolise to be true to myself and who I am.

So there we go. An explanantion to the title. Three things that encapsulate me pretty well. Also, three is my lucky number, so hey presto!
I guess I felt an explanantion was necessary because in order to understand my story you need to undertand the title. If science has taught me anything it's that every action has an opposite or equal reaction. This is something I am passionate about sharing. Everything we do is the result of past experiences and stimuli intertwined and knitted together to give us the actions we carry out. This is what I believe society needs to understand better. I believe that too often we don't undertsand ourselves, let alone others. We don't understand that this person is this way because of X, Y and Z. And most importantly we don't understand that that is OK. Each event, each encounter, each moment is a thread in knitting together the tapestry that is life, and that is beautiful, regardless of the person.
Deep, yes. But I think the point I'm trying to portray here is that we need to open our hearts and our minds. We need to understand the basic principles of human thought and action and stop letting our hearts and minds be clouded. When it comes down to our basic elements we are pretty amazing creatures, each and every one of us, and not one of us should ever be left behind.
So, keep doing what you're doing. Keep living, keep breathing, keep loving. And in turn I'll keep you updated on my life
