*anie's profile:

I started exploring my sexuality and relationships very young. I am a very open-minded and honest person. Sometimes I won't tell you what you want to hear, but I will always tell you what I feel is the truth. By every sense of the word, I'm a leader. Every assessment, whether it be psychological, personality or career has told me so. I am ultra observant and always exploring human behavior, and always learning. Everyone in my friendship circle, comes to me for honest advice. However, sometimes I think, hey who do I go to? I might be a strong confidant leader, but even leaders need an ear from time to time.
