I'd love to answer anybody's questions, but I'll usually avoid the ones about friends or relationships because those tend to bore me. :) I am knowledgable in a variety of topics, specifically fashion, etiquette, and questions about spirituality
/religion. Proper grammar and spelling is * sOoOo freekin hAwTt*.
But anyhow, I will try to answer every question as best as I can. I can't promise, however, to sugar-coat things or tell you what you want to hear, or rid my answers of any sarcasm, but I'll try. :)
I am a strong Christian that likes to study other religions, so I can better see eye-to-eye with people who have different opinions than my own. I am not perfect, nor do I claim to be, so please, never take any of my answers too personally. :)
In my spare time, I love playing the piano, listening to folk/indie music, doing volunteer work, writing, studying Spanish, learning about fashion and make-up, and acting competitively.
Ciao! :)

how would you describe a good person (in detail) because i really want to become one, but don't know where to start ?! (link)

Well, this is an interesting question to me. I am going to try to explain it the best I can, but if my thoughts don't connect all the way, well, bear with me. :)
I don't believe that there are any "good" people out there. Yeah, there are people who donate money to charity and help little old ladies across the street, but the only truly "good" person was Jesus. People are all sinners, even though some peoples sins may seem "worse" than others. All people are wayyy below God on the "holy scale", and that's the bottom line. God doesn't care who has done more community service than the next person. Now I've put kind of a spiritual spin on this question, which I have a feeling isn't the kind of answer you were going for. But it's a different perspective. God loves all people equally, and doesn't categorize them into good and bad people. But having said that, he is pleased when people treat each other with love. Giving, receiving, and having love to me is as close to being a "good person" as you can get, and is the closest we as human beings can get to living your life as the ultimate perfect person, Jesus. Does this meet the world's standards? Maybe, maybe not. I think the world has a different definition of a good person than God does. To God, I don't believe there is any better thing you could do than demonstrating love. Loving God, loving others, and loving yourself (in that order) is God's commandment in the Bible. So if you're looking for a starting place, that's where I'd go. All you need is love. ;)
If you want to ask me more specific questions I might be able to help you a little bit more. Just let me know! :)
