ABOUT ME

Im from Charleston, SC which, if you don't know because most people dont, is in the south east of the US, not texas. I went to boarding school in Asheville, NC, and I consider this to be the place where I really grew up. This placed influenced me so much more than I realized. I am studying for the year in Paris, France. I love it, but its good to be able get away too. I love sand, and being on an island. Seeing the ocean. Scars fascinate me. A few of my favorite things to do are meet people, travel, and try new things.

PHILOSOPHY

"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real." "Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit. "Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt." "Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?" "It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
-Margery Williams, "Velveteen Rabbit"
