I am too young to know what I want but too old to make any excuses for it. I used to write because I liked to, but now I'm starting to realize it's the only thing I'm good at! I'm trying to figure out a way to make a living doing what I love...isn't that the secret to a happy life?

My parents always told me ...

Do what makes you happy.

To write a book...and I will one day.

My favorite memory ...

Why I write ...

To vent, to let my creative juices flow, to challenge myself.

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

My inspiration ...

Self-satisfaction. Money. Someday being able to allow my parents to retire peacefully. I owe them big time!
