About Me

I am a person.I am unashamed. I am ambitious, wonderfully flawed, and scatterbrained.I get nervous. I am unique.I spend a lot of time in my head convincing myself that I am wrong, and for that reason I suck at multiple choice. I am scarred but I try to heal and move on. I am someone who doesn't try as hard as she knows she can in somethings (like school) Because she is too busy focusing on the creative side of life. I am Honest. I am a liar. I am a hypocrite.I am lazy.I try too hard.I believe inmusic, art, literature, and the stars. I am a tree.I know that life is transient so I know that I best, grab a chunk out of it, season it real well, add ice cream to it, add everything I like and want to it, everything I feel and think, everything I see, and try to make life you know, worth living. I want to squeeze all the love out of life and then add more to it. Let it shine and change the bulb when it gets dim. Most of the time I don't make sense but if you have known me long enough you know what I mean. And if you don't I believe that eventually deep down inside of you, you will. I try my best to percieve things without judgment. I am by no means perfect. I believe that genuine smiles are the best. I make a lot of typing errors.I don't like who I am at times. I love full moons and clear winter nights.I don't know everything nor do I want to know everything.Like the future I am changing and as I change so will this.
