About Me
I'm Melissa.
I'm a storyteller, but I'm the worst kind cause I'm the kind that makes you believe in love. Yeah, I'm the kind that sits back patiently just waiting for the kill..you know that I'm the girl in the corner and I'm holding your eyes still.But, I like it that way...
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.†Used by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 inaugural speech
I'm Melissa. Please be patient, I am still evolving.
When I was a little Melissa, there was a hugh weeping willow tree right outside my bedroom window. So, on windy nights or when it stormed it would make this awful creeking noise and all the weeping branches would make this scary picture on my walls. To this day the dark still makes me nervous.
However,
If I was ever going to be a tree, it would be that one.
What else should I tell you about me?
Im a human, human's have good days and bad days. I made mistakes, I dont always follow my own advice, I fall down, and Im not always perfect.
I like coffee and conversation..
I understand the word "patience" now, that it isn't alright to hurt people to get ahead, nor is a good idea to be something that you aren't. I guess you can say Im right in the middle of the shedding of the old and the coming into the new. Appreciate the things that I have, and work hard for the things that I want.
And, for the record...
My peanut butter and jelly sandwiches need to be alittle mushy..like they were forgotten in a 2nd graders backpack kinda mushy.
I think that might be it for the "about me" section.
"If you put your ear to the street, you can hear the rumble of the world in motion; people going to and from work, to school, to the grocery store. You may even hear the whisper of their living rooms, their conversation, their complaints, and if you're lucky, their laughter. "
"Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Everything passes. Everything changes. Just do what you think you should do." Bob Dylan, "To Ramona"
"Let's go for that ride, keep our eyes open wide. Someone may be looking for you. "
"If you follow your feelings, follow your dreams, you might find a forest there in the Trees."
