About Me

my name is meredith. i am a 24 year old art student. i am an arts & crafts junkie. creativity is a drug i can't live without. i enjoy being. i feel the subtleties of everyday life. i take time to stop and smell the roses. i always have an opinion, but i do not always have to be right. i see things sideways. i tell stories that make people laugh, but i can't tell a joke to save my life. i hate rules. i am always looking for ways to bend them. i believe that mediocrity is death. i give 110 %. i believe the most important thing a person can be is authentic. other great traits will follow. i am driven to do something beautiful and important. i am addicted to and stimulated by smart people. i love to solve problems. i have nothing to fear but fear itself. i believe in helping others where i can. i have learned by doing. i am one person but together with others i believe mountains can be moved!

We can do no great things - only small things with great love.

You must be the change you wish to seek in this world.

Live as if you'll die tomorrow. Learn as if you'll live forever.

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.
