You know how in the movies and cartoons, they always say, "Whatever you do, no matter what, DO NOT press the red button!!!". Well, I'm the type of person who likes to press the "Red Buttons" in life. Yes there may be consequences, but cusiousity didn't ALWAYS kill the cat. Its just who I am. Its me. I've learned to take chances in life. And I won't EVER let ANYONE steal MY "Joy".
Now that we've extablished that, here's the other stuff...I'm Crystal, 23 years old from Tampa. I have an incredible son named Casey. He's 4 years old and he's THE center of my existence. I was born and raised in Tampa, but I don't know if I'll always live here. I may move away someday, but not any time soon. I'm a an IT - Technical Support Representative for Verizon. Basically, I fix computers for Verizon's employees. And I frigging LOVE it. And I love everyone I work with. You guys are awesome!!! I'm am also earning my Master of Science in Criminal Justice. I hope to one day be a Private Investigator and either own my own business or do work for the FBI.

"Work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one's watching."
"That which does not kill you, makes you stronger"
"They say if you love something let it go,
If it comes back it's yours and that's how you know"
The Serenity Prayer
GOD, grant me the serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change,
Courage to change the
things I can, and the
wisdom to know the difference.
Living ONE DAY AT A TIME;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship as the
pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this
sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make
all things right if I
surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy
in this life, and supremely
happy with Him forever in
the next. Amen
