Homeschool ALUMNI - Peter Telian's Profile

Yep, I was homeschooled. From start to finish. I am very thankful for it and blessed. Although it doesn't make me any better. But if I embrace the inheritance that has been left me through my experience and upbringing, I can be entrusted with more. I want more.

Homeshcoolers have a unique mix of free thinking and conviction. It been fun to be one of them. Recently, the former is beginning to show that the latter may have actually been less solid than I thought. Stuff I always assumed is being challenged. Big stuff.

My family and I live just outside Yosemite, at the foot of the Sierra Nevada’s. California has been the land of my sojourn all my life. I like it. If anyone is ever out this way, you are always welcome. You would like it too.

Jesus loves me and I want to love him back. God is big. And while I don't fully understand Him, I know He is good.

I'm an optimist when I want it my way. I'm a pessimist to other pessimists who are being pessimistic to my optimistic idea. This sometimes makes me confused. I'm also a pessimist when I'm lazy. This sometimes gives less credibility to my ideas.

I'm a traveler, foodie, photographer, filmmaker, chef, and explorer.

I'm a pilgrim haunted by the fact that this earth is temporal. I still desire to see the kingdom of God come on earth. It makes me feel at home.

I like Haagen-Dazs ice cream and am on my way to having tried every flavor. I call myself a fan but I really just need an identity.

I like Sushi and gulp it down so I can look sophisticated.

I used to drink racist coffee, but I don't any more. Strait black. But I will usually go for tea. I like teas from all over the world.

When I wear footwear, it is either flip-flops or slippers.

Weddings make me happy. Divorce makes me sad. Cemeteries remind me that I should live. And life is too short not to do anything but love.

It's sweet that girls like flowers. But flowers are not just for girls, and neither is purple. I hope my wife brings me purple flowers someday.

I dislike bills with a passion and I don't even have that many. I'm starting to think I may actually be happier living in a place where there are no "services". I don't like money and the cycle it tends to take. Work is a necessary evil to get money which is a necessary evil. Maybe God's economy is very different from the world's. Maybe it is possible. At least I'm young enough to think so.

I just divulged way to much information. My next profile update may be brief. So take note while you can.
