About Me

I am feeling less confident with exactly *who* I am these days. It's odd. I am not sure what I like or don't like anymore. I assume I like the same things I used to, but when I go to do something I haven't done in awhile it never ends up being as fun or entertaining as it "used to be".
Usually I am comfortable in my own skin and very independent. I have been through a lot in my life and believe that I have grown wiser for it. I am honest (and can be brutally so at times.) I am fiercely loyal to my friends, unless I feel I am crossed. You have to understand that I feel things intensely, but I am not one of those typical females prone to dramatic outbursts. Which means I tend to store all of those intense feelings inside (letting them out via creative expression... but take note: if I am not creating then WATCH OUT.) I am usually described as "not your average female" which I take as a compliment.
I am an insightful and willing counselor to those ready and willing to listen... and I am always ready to grow or learn more... I am giving and nurturing to those that deserve my attention but can become offended when not respected or ignored. I have extremely high expectations of myself, and therefore any others that I choose to let into my life.
