About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live the life you love, and love the life you live.

ABOUT ME

I refuse to not enjoy life. I take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself to have a damn good time. I'm not afraid of laughing at myself. I don't like confrontation. I believe that love is stronger than ANYTHING else, it's stronger than faith, fear, hate. I love discovering when I am passionate about something. I love interacting with people, and getting to know people, more than just on the surface. I LOVE to travel. EVERYWHERE. I can't resist food. I like trying new things. I admire people who can do things that I can't. I don't take compliments well. I'm a bad liar. I don't like being vulnerable, but I appreciate vulnerability. I don't stress out easily- there is no point. I like to be productive with my time. I appreciate my family. I have a wide spectrum of friends. I like when I can find witty people who can keep up with me...or when I find sincere people who are genuine all around...or even just a kind-hearted soul. Although several different religions inspire me, I believe that I am the only one who has control over my life, and I have no doubt that I will be achieving my dreams, and pursuing my passions. I've played the violin since I was nine. I like to learn, and read, and write. My heart is a hell of a lot stronger than my head, but I wouldn't want it any other way. I don't have any regrets that haven't taught me something. I am stronger than I look. And I am independent.
