... gather ye rosebuds while ye may

About Me

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying
~Robert Herrick~
"in all things be passionate" is my life mantra.
i am deeply in love & so fortunate he's my best friend & boyfriend. i have over 30 journals in my closet at home. i write to understand myself. pink is absolutely the prettiest color in the world. blasting acoustic guitar music is my biggest de-stressor. i was raised on the Steelers and Christianity. brightly colored gerber daisies make me smile. listening to Konstantine can make me smile even if i hate the world. i am addicted to my cell phone. i am now officially an adult. i’m most comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt from goodwill. i’d rather go out for coffee than go watch a movie. chocolate is the easiest way to win my affection. i’m scared of the dark. i laugh a lot because i find joy in life. i am so not a morning person. my heart is going to Waterloo, Canada in the fall. i'm all fire and spirit and passion and heart. goodbyes are unusually difficult for me because i leave a piece of my heart with everyone i love. i love life. Rochester is now where i call home sweet home.
