WHOA DREAM BIG!

About Me

Sometimes I don't know; Other times I couldn't be more sure. I think the point is that I'm trying...learning, growing, accepting, challenging. When it comes down to it though, what I am is just that: I am. And in the grand scheme of things, isn't that enough?

My Interests

Theatrics of all sorts, the Northwest, good ol' Portland, Mother Earth, Vivace coffee and crepes, enjoying this place my life has taken me, but always awaiting that next phase (wherever it may be...loving the fact that one never really knows), rock climbing, yoga...especially yoga. knowledge, writing, streams of consciousness, being, school supplies, being school supplies...the smell of freshly sharpened pencils in the morning...teas of most sorts, indulging in my coffee addiction, abstaining from my coffee addiction, aesthetics, Japanese art, Artistic Expression, Audrey Kawasaki, Foreign Films, Pho, Bubble Tea, Drive, Ambition, Finding Beauty in unlikely sources, learning from mistakes, growing, appreciating, discovering, compassion, accepting...not taking life too seriously...

"I’m so ugly, that’s okay, ’cause so are you...broke our mirrors"

It's entirely possible, dare-I-say probable that I've let my appearance go this semester. But do I care? No, not really. In a way, it's been liberating. I rarely if ever wear makeup, and when I do, it...
