CURRENT MISSION

to finish school... soon...

ABOUT ME

My name is Taylor and I live in Portland, Oregon. I go to school and have sold my soul to Starbucks for the meantime. I try to be open-minded and flexible, and I love to be silly. Some good ways to pass the time include reading and getting myself lost... and then finding my way back.
