What's the strangest thing you've ever seen? I've seen a lot of strange things just for the fact I tend to surround myself with strange people and environments.

Pin-back button story: Ever since childhood I've been obsessed with buttons and wear a lot of them! I've worn and lost a lot of buttons over time, but my current favorite one is my "Love" button. I definitely think buttons can help save the world! Not only do they encourage self-expression, they also can create a connection with others who relate to the content of a button.
Additional information/Special announcements: I'm currently working on some freelance projects and creating stickers and designs to incorporate with my graffiti work. Hoping to make some t-shirt designs soon!

It's the first section someone will see after your main profile picture – make it count! Focus on specifics and you’ll be able to attract someone who finds you unique and interesting. There are certain things that resonate with you, and qualities in a person that feel good to you in a relationship. Mention those things. The goal is to get people who are potential matches to start talking to you, not to get hundreds of messages from partial matches. Your ego might enjoy the attention of multiple messages, but ultimately it will be a waste of your time.
