About Me

Home.
Comment.

My name is Maria. I believe that if you deliberately wear matching socks you aren’t living your life in the right way. I believe that my mother has a plan to make sure I don’t die of starvation when I go to university, which is why she’s teaching me how to cook. I believe I have more amazing people in my life than I deserve, and that every single one of them makes me a better person. End of.

Shotgun?

So, Steff sent me this. It's amazing. History Lesson: The name for the seat (or seats) adjacent to that of the driver comes to us from the American "old"/"wild" west. Aside from a railroad ticket, St...
