About Me

*Sometimes the hardest part is just letting someone in close enough to touch your heart* I discovered a while ago that life plans never work out like you imagined in your head. But Iâ€™ve also discovered not following your life plan can lead you in directions youâ€™ve never even thought of. Somewhere off the beaten path, I found something Iâ€™m good at, even though I deal with crazy numbers and slightly off the wall people all day. I learned I can make it on my own, but its ok to stop and ask for help along the way. I found there are good people out there who treat me well, love me, and would do anything for me. And this by far makes up for the people who would stab me in the back and then look me in the eye asking for forgiveness. Sunburns and broken hearts heal with time. Flip flops and roses will always be two of my favorite things. Iâ€™d take playing in the ocean over playing in the snow any day. Iâ€™ll never get my hair to do what I think it should. Iâ€™ll always love my first dog, and Iâ€™ll probably never like mushrooms. I believe mint chocolate ice cream and Starbucks can fix any number of things in life. If you hurt me, Iâ€™ll probably tell you youâ€™re forgiven. If you love me, then Iâ€™ll love you back. Just take your time with me. I donâ€™t let just anyone in. I have so much I want to do in life, sometimes I just need to remind myself that life really is a journey, not a destination. Sometimes I think life is moving so slowly, and I just want to know what happens in the end. But then I look around, and realize just how quickly everything is passing, and I just have to take a moment and breathe everything in. I'm trying to be patient and productive in the same moment, all while hoping that most of the pieces of my life fall into place. No one is perfect. Everyone stumbles. Sometimes I feel like I've fallen more than my fair share, but the trick is to keep standing back up.

I'd like to meet:

Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart.
