About Me

I think i'm starting to get it. Finally......No one in this amazing creation should ever get lost in someone else so much so that you lose yourself. At the other side, sometimes you're left with less than you began with, but bits and pieces can grow by leaps and bounds. It may not seem easy to move on, but moving on just means you're going forward. Better than standing still, right? Let the people who want to love you, love you. Let the good be seen in you and see the good in others. It's there. Relief comes at the most unexpected times. thank God for all the good that is sometimes obscured by the ridiculous, and for all the bad that ultimately only makes you stronger. Don't struggle to hold onto something that may have been lost a long time ago. It's time to live. It's time to shine. It's time to be amazing.it's all just a bunch of vibrations---it can be anything you want it to be...just don't take it all so seriously.

My Interests

god consciousness. my 5 birds. owls. laughing my ass off. caffiene. nicotine. words. subtle sarcasm. occasional chaos. minimal drama. classy sleaze. confidence. inner peace, outer noise. veggies. shoes. my grandma. greyhounds. flip flops. treehouses. tin-tin comics. archie, jughead, betty and veronica. scrabble. thai food. healthy sources of power. spiritual fitness. and your mom if she's nice. .... ..
