: About Me

I am 25 years old and I am passionate about writing. Ever since I was a little girl, I loved writing science fiction stories, poems, biographies, non-fiction narratives - anything that I could think of to entertain myself. I would write things for other people every chance I got, whether it be silly greeting cards or poems filled with inside-jokes.

I also love photography. Pictures make me utterly happy. I love to travel, although I don't often get the chance to anymore. But I will eventually. I love to laugh. If you can make me laugh, then we'll get along perfectly.

My passion is ...

writing, photography, music and travelling.

I know too much about ...

nothing. I don't feel that you can ever know too much about anything.

My parents always told me ...

to do well in school.

My childhood ambition ...

was to be a writer.

My favorite memory ...

is seeing my grandmother smile that last, beautiful time (RIP).

Why I write ...

to vent, to let my feelings out, to escape.

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

is plenty of textbooks/The History Channel/a lot of Tool, Tom Petty and Zepp.

My first job ...

was as a dental hygienist assistant.

My best moment ...

was the moment I chose to live and not to continue on to death.

My inspiration ...

is life in general. My friends, family, boyfriend. Happiness, sadness, pain, anger.

Balloons. Floating. Passing me by as I reach for them. Blues, reds, greens, whites. Dancing in the space between dark and light. My fingers stretch. Not far enough, I grab at them. Balloons. Filled with life. With vitality. Filled with what I strive for. Blues, reds, greens, whites. Brushing by me. I can feel them on my skin. Still, I cannot reach them. Floating. Balloons.
