About Me

my name is alyssa.

jesus christ is my savior.
i'm a very bubbly person.
[smiling is my favorite].
i'm whimsical but also very predictable.
i'm a typical small town girl who dreams of the big city.
my friends keep me sane.
i love anything that is pink.
i'm mature enough to be immature at the right times.
i'm very clausterphobic.
[i can't stand having my feet under the covers].
i want to be a writer.
i love old movies, showtunes, and black and white pictures.
[i wish i was born in the 50's].
i love the beach but hate the water.
i will correct all of your spelling and grammatical errors.
i'm pretty much a clean freak.
i take pinky promises seriously.
i'm a perfectionist just like my parents.

peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.
