: About Me

I am a 24 year old graduate of Kansas State University. Five years in Manhattan, KS was a bit too much for me at the time, but I miss it now like you wouldn't believe. Of course. Now, however, I live in Belton, MO. And never in a million years would I have believed you if you'd told me I'd ever end up there. But I live in a cozy hideaway with my bluegrass musician and lover and soulmate. Can't really complain too much about that.
Writing has always been a part of me. I want nothing more than to sit and write, every day, of the craziness inside of me. I am always looking for ways to better my writing, and hope to publish my thoughts someday soon.
I wanted to take some time to myself after I graduated, but I will be attending grad school within the next few years. At the moment, though, I am putting myself through massage school and boy, do I love it. I wish I could fall asleep on my book overnight and wake up with all of the knowledge inside me, but I am enjoying learning the techniques of one of the most rewarding trades out there. I would love to be able to attend Berkley, but I must do some amazing things before that happens. If not, a grad school in Colorado would suit me just fine. Someplace to expand my skill and explore new things from learned people.
Please give me whatever feedback you'd like on my writing. I'm am always looking for guidance to further my ability.
Namaste.

Giants In The Air... what is it? what do you want? you who come through the shadows like a killer in a film noir. i cannot see you, but i feel your presence, behind me, lingering at my back like a bad habit, inside me, haunting me because i let myself be haunted. the smell of burnt leaves fills my nostrils, and i breathe in deeply because i love the smell and it suddenly changes to the rotting smell of deadness and decay, and it makes my stomach want to lurch because i was expecting something else, but i did it to myself. my apartment is dark, and has been for days. i have slipped in and o...
