My life continues to be sporadic. From October 2, 2006 to March 14th 2007 I lived in Dublin, Ireland and it was by far the most rewarding, yet painful experience of my life. I learned more in six months than I would have in six years. I want to go back, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards for me right now.
Is it reasonable to give up everything you know for everything you want? Is what you want worth the sacrifice and culture shock? I haven't decided yet, but I do know there is both a contentedness and deep longing in my heart now. I wish it would make up it's mind and let me know.
It seems like I'm always moving. Always thinking. Can't stop. Right now, I'm living in Mesquite, TX with my awesome boyfriend Aaron. He is hands down the best thing that has ever happened to me. I'm very lucky and will be the first to tell you so.
I was born in San Luis Obispo, California. SLO is my paradise, and always will be. It is the only place in the world where I am truly at peace, instead of in glued together pieces. It isn't easy being torn between the love of your soul and the love of your life, but I'm going to deal with it and hope that the best one will show itself to me.
I am twenty one years old and an only child through my mother, although I do have a thirteen year old half brother through my father. My best friend in the world is my mother. She is the one that has given me everything and understands me completely. I owe her my life and more.
I am fearful yet happy-go-lucky; dreamer yet down-to-earth; humorous yet serious; Cynical yet trusting. I consider my personality to be multifaceted -- meaning I'm complicated. I suffer from depression because I'm a perfectionist and of course that's impossible. I believe I am never good enough; never pretty enough; never skinny enough. I realize that I am the only one that brings myself down, so at least that's something. I am my own worst enemy. I'm smart enough to realize this, so hopefully I'll be smart enough to find a way to dissolve my depression.
I grew up a tom-boy and as a result most of my friends are guys -- and I prefer it that way. I dislike the mind games and competition that some girls play, and refuse to put up with it.
I'm a huge gamer geek and history nerd. My major is journalism but originally I wanted it to be archeology. My favorite period in history is the Bronze Age. I love anything Celtic. The people fascinate me and I'm proud to be a descendant.
I love art and have been a student of art most of my life. My mother always made sure I was well educated in it and I've learned to do a little myself. It is one of my major passions in life. My favorite artists are Leonardo Da Vinci and Vincent Van Gough.
I've lived in many places and have traveled all over the world and I am still not satisfied with the knowledge I have. I’m always seeking higher learning, I like thinking the space between my ears is immeasurable.
Reading is one of my favorite hobbies, I have more books than I have room for but I can't bare parting with any of them, they are like free passes into worlds when you want to escape reality.
People tend to think my greatest fault is being opinionated, although I don't feel that I'm opinionated at all. I hold to my convictions but I never think for a minute that my way is right and the only way, and if I am wrong I am willing to admit so.
I believe there is only one race, the human race. There is a difference between race and heritage. Heritage is cultural. I am proud of my Irish heritage and I hope to find artifacts in Ireland someday, maybe even something important and previously undiscovered.
I try to keep my heart free of hate, but at times I find it difficult to do so. I believe that even when things look darkest there is always a shimmering candle flame of hope that things will get better someday. I consider myself Christian but strongly disagree with Evangelists. I do not believe that Christianity is the one true religion. I believe that there are many different paths to our final destination and it is important to choose the path that works best for you. In my perfect world I would want everyone to be safe, happy and healthy.
I care about what other people think, but I mainly care about my friend's opinions of me. I find it easy to believe the bad, and hard to believe the good. I try very hard to be a good and fair person. Now you know the jist of who I am, the good and the bad.
