About Me

Hey. I go to a small college in South Carolina, double majoring in Music and English. I'm a pretty nice guy I guess, at least, I'm nice when you get to know me. I suppose I can tend to be a bit of a bitch, but I don't really mean it.

I love music and literature. I love things that are beautiful and people who create. I read a lot, I think love is hard, and hurt is easy. I am indecisive but ambitious, wandering but motivated, and I am easily scared.
Love is not the greatest of human capability. Compassion is. If only I could learn it.

I'd like to meet:

I like meeting new people and seeing what they can bring to my life, but I tend to be selective in the people I really let in. Sometimes I'm a little impatient and intimidating (so I'm told), and I'm really awkward when talking to people I don't know well, but I'm golden once I get warmed up. Feel free to message or IM me.
