Has your Thai culture affected your views on love and relationships?
no one said i love you growing up..not much attention to love, lack of it. There was more enthusiasm for survival and education
the thai culture would have affected me if i succumbed to the influence but I didn't give a shit, i knew i would find love my own way
Have you been heart broken?
yes. once. I acted in a way that was uncharacteristic of who i truly am..started putting stress on everything..she wanted to leave, i wouldn't believe it. i passionately and fiercely wanted it to work and it didn't. i wanted to hide, was angry with myself..blamed myself..lost faith in love

Yes, several...in different ways
Do you believe in love at first sight?
no. but it maybe havent happened yet.
How do you make relationships work?

mom, myself, family, girlfriend, close friends
What do you love?
music, food, clothes, interior design, motorcycles, electronics, being lazy, drama
Do you believe in Marriage?
Yes, but it is not a high priority
What is Marriage to you?
a label really, to conform to society, its really a title..it doesnt give a shit as long as you're in love. hates the idea of divorce

Dannys choice of quote...
as i left this pleasant interview, i met a young man in the elevator who just got back from Afghanistan, he was so pleasant and happy to be back..his genuine exchange and presence in the moment was so rare..i can't help but wonder if thats also a definition of love. the world would be quite a better place...with genuine human exchange.
so the next time you see a stranger, and meet them, meet them in the eye. don't have your thoughts and judgements running wild..you never know what you'll discover.
searching high and low for the definition of love...
