I am nineteen years old and not quite an adult yet. I have lots to work on and pretty much the only thing I'm absolutely clear on is the fact that I want to write.

I walk around with words and pictures in my head. Mostly it is pictures though. I find myself striving constantly to use words to turn the images in my head into the stories that they portray.

If I were to be able to write something that allowed another person to see the beautiful and moving things I see in my head then I would feel that I had done something that was truly important and worth doing.

My passion is ...

finding things to feel passionate about. Drenching myself in feelings.

I know too much about ...

It's impossible to know too much.

My parents always told me ...

My childhood ambition ...

to be a vet, to be a lawyer, to be a writer, to travel the world, to find take-your-breath-away-leave-you-helplessly-weak-and-inspirin gly-strong-never-dies love.

My favorite memory ...

the first time I ever ate a peach.

Why I write ...

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

A book called The Lord of the Fading Lands, the TV show Lost, and a japanese rock band that disbanded in 2003

My first job ...

a page at my local library.

My best moment ...

when I realized that there is actually something I want in my future.

My inspiration ...

passion, my senses, my ability to totally let go of everything else in order to enjoy a single moment in time.
