Let the beauty we love be what we do.

About Me

I am first and foremost a mother, which is hard sometimes, but worth it. I have just recently realized that all I need in this life is my daughter, although I want more than that. I have little patience for people with no motivation to change their situation, especially if they complain about it. Whatever it is that drives someone, I think they should use that. I feel lazy if I have not defiled a book with annotations recently, because among my passions are literature. I can immerse myself in the written word indefinitely, reading a line that resonates with me dozens of times until I understand what it is about the language and structure that moves me. Literature and writing are my artistic expressions, I can't draw, play music or write poetry, although I have a deep appreciation for those who can and what they produce. I am an intensely loyal friend and I truly care about people for the simple fact that they are people. I am disappointed in the fact that humans seem unable to care for other humans without knowing them. Neighbor or stranger, we are all more alike than most people will admit. I love my life, but that does not mean I won't bitch about it. I just wouldn't trade it for anything.

My Interests

Literature, pop fiction, experimental fiction, short fiction, novels, novellas, plays, poetry, prose, creative non-fiction, memoirs, writing and reading in general, my beautiful and amazing daughter, my incredibly sexy boyfriend and his c*&k, my friends, swinging in the dark, music, music, music, great movies, documentaries, continuous learning, dutch bros, classic ice cream sandwiches, yoga, beef jerkey, discussions: politics, religion, the more controversial the better, doing the best i can at whatever i'm doing, not crashing my car anymore.

I'd like to meet:

People who have motivation to be relevant in whatever way they decide. People who are outspoken about themselves and stay quiet about others. People who contain an ounce of innocence, compassion, intelligence, joy, artistry, critical thinking skills, original thought, or pure opinion. FYI: I don't want to meet guys for the sake of meeting guys, I already have one and I am happily in love with him...
