About Me


i'm not much of anything, but the potential for a lot of things. i'm a Christian, but could be way better. i'm a writer, but i don't put the effort into it that i should. i'm a friend, but i tend to get distracted by other friends and not give the proper time to the ones that need it. in my mind, i'm really pretty pathetic, but with a decent push, i can be something great. someday...
