I'm 22 years old, married and with an adorable toothless 6 month old.
I've always enjoyed writing but it seems that for the past couple of years I've neglected updating even my diary. I keep making resolutions to begin my career as a free-lance journalist and break them.

My passion is ...

the pursuit of happiness

I know too much about ...

dreams

My parents always told me ...

To feel purposeful in the big wide universe

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Daphne Du Maurier's 'The Du Mauriers'
