About Me

so i brought in the new year looking at life from a different perspective. i have to admit it was a little scary at first but i'm finding more & more intrigue with each day passing. i'm welcoming change with an open mind and pulling inspiration from all that's around me. my life's starting to pick up momentum and i'm hopping on for the ride. where it takes me, i'll never know until i get there. but that's the best part...the anticipation.

My Interests

.:: words of wisdom ::. by unknownsometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there,to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson,or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. you never know who these people may be possibly your roommate, neighbor, professor, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger, but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some profound way.and sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.
everything happens for a reason. nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. it would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.
the people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become. even the bad experiences can be learned from. in fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.
if someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to when you open your heart. if someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.
make every day count...
appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen. let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. hold your head up because you have every right to. tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you. you can make of your life anything you wish.
create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets. most importantly, if you love someone tell them, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store. and learn a lesson in life each day you live.

I'd like to meet:

"the glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him."

The Road I Have Traveled

The road I have Traveled.Bridges I have crossed.I've gone the extra mile,I've come to many stops.I had a few road blocks,toward what I thought,could be the end.But had to be brought backa mile or two ...
