About Me

Hi there! It's so great to be somewhere. I love life, tho it's hard sometimes. But I have great friends and great family to support me and help me thru. Hopefully I'll meet more on here. My personality is really laid back but I truly feed off of other peoples' energy. I love to talk and when I talk to someone, I want them to feel like they matter and that they have my full attention. People fascinate me and so does the universe. Let's talk about the simple things in life and/or the wonders of how and why things exist. I really enjoy laughter and smiles, so if you're as fun-loving as I am, great! I do have dark, sad times too, but truly believe that they have to happen for extraordinary ones to take place. I also enjoy the quiet rainy days where you watch movies and drink tea or hot chocolate, so that makes me versatile! Everyone loves cuddling. I'm really spending time working on myself and on my future. It's one of the hardest things I have ever done because the world keeps going. My life can't stop for me to figure things out. I don't have all my eggs in the basket, but I'm working on that too. I'm not perfect but I am working on being consistent, honest, trust-worthy, respectful, responsible, and sincere. I'm working on mending my relationships, so if you're someone who feels our relationship needs mending, please get in touch with me and I'll let you know what I can do and what I can't. To sweet Alia, I love you. Thank you for being in my life even though it isn't the life of ease. To Wade, Celine and all the wonderful HPC people I have met, thank you for listening and trying to make the world a better, less crazy place one person at a time. To Justy, I love and care about you even though I don't always show it the way you need. To Amanda, thank you for being my flute buddy and a friend even outside of our careers.

Random Thoughts

Gassy. Gassy is a hilarious concept to me. "Just so you know, I"m feelin' gassy right now." "Should I be concerned? Is that like some kind of warning?" "Hmmmm. Not quite...
