I wanted to be a politician or some sort of activist from about the age of five Grin my parents used to rip the piss out of me. I still desperately want to right a lot of 'wrongs' I see in the world, and hope one day I can make my younger self proud.

Unfortunately, my actual job prevents me from doing either.
