About Me


“Elegence doesn't mean being noticed, it means being remembered."
-Giorgio Armani
I want to see lions and giraffes on the Serengeti and view Paris in the snow from the top of the Eiffel Tower. I would love to drink sangria and dance all night in Ibiza, and chat over an espresso in Rome. I don't think I'm used to feeling settled after moving back and forth across the country for university for four years and I think I'm afraid of stagnating and falling into what's safe and comfortable without exploring something different.I love words and the incredible power they hold and somehow, I would really like to try to create my own power with them. I'm working on my secret love: writing. Hopefully one day I'd like to publish a novel and call myself a writer without a smile feeling like I'm lying.
I'm enjoying living in a place with seasons, although I have learned that I was mistaken and that winter in the north is not my favorite. I love that it's turning cool and the skies are overcast with that hint of fall whispering across your skin. I love that soon the sidewalks will be ablaze in jeweled colors once the leaves turn. Even though I'm not a fan of wicked low temperatures, I'm looking forward to seeing snow again.
"A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages."
