About Me

I'm an ordinary girl who is living life one step at a time. I'm all about breaking outside of the box of comfort we contain ourselves in and exposing ourselves to what is unknown, different, and new to us. I want to be more productive in my actions and in my thoughts. I'm learning to break down the walls I put up in life to be more vulnerable for being broken and molded into a stronger person. I am a very friendly introvert, who grew up as an extrovert. I am a very shy singer/songwriter who plays the guitar. It's a goal of mine to get over my fear and lack of confidence in sharing my music because I hope that people will be inspired and touched deeply through my songs one day...and even just through my friendship. I love it when people smile. :-D I love kids- soaking in thier fearlessness, naitivity, and energy they exude about living life. I love making someone's day with surprises. I like spontanaeity. I'm a starbuck's junkie, but am seriously trying to cut back. I like fashion. I enjoy sports. Used to do gymnastics and play lacrosse. I have a dot on my bottom lip. I'm not much of a talker, more of a thinker. I'm a listener. I'm the 2nd to oldest out of 4 daughters. I hate my corporate-like office job. I don't particularly enjoy school, but I definitely plan to atleast get my Associates Degree and then go straight into cosmetology school (if u ever need ur make-up & hair done, call me!). I'm a music major at Northern VA Community College. I'm a ponderer of thinking thoughts and ideas that sometimes don't make sense, sometimes inspire me, sometimes give me a headache, sometimes teach me something. I'm deeply in love..
