About Me

Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile, seeing that little ticker go up makes me smile. So what can I tell you about me without giving too much away?
I have big hopes and aspirations. I'm friendly but blunt as a brick through a window. I love piercings and tattoos ... I'm smart, I'm sassy. I'll be the sweetest girl in the world to you, but the second you overstep your boundaries I will let you know. And I thank God every day for His blessing me with true good friends, parents who think the world of me and the sweetest boyfriend who thinks my obnoxious habits are cute.
And I love this story, it's true with all of us:
One evening an old Indian told his grandson about the battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, there is a battle between two "wolves" inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"
The Indian answers, "The one you feed."
You can only attempt to add me by knowing either my personal email address or my last name, if you know me but you just cannot remember either one, please feel free to message me!
