About Me


View full size
Letting go and allowing myself to breathe again.
I'm finally at peace with what my life holds, what it lacks, and I even love my mornings. I wake up and just sit in awe of my backyard.
Being on the water is so amazing. There's nothing like being able to sit on your porch and just stare at the pure and beautiful wonders of life. Watching the birds cascade over the water, or watching a father teach his son to fish. I don't think there's a better place on earth.
I'm riding bareback, and living for today.
Miss Ruth was a lady....and a lady always knows....when to leave."
"WOOKIN PA NUB IN AWE DA WONG PACES." (If you know what that's from, I'm already impressed)
Vegetarian since the age of three.
I'm a 25 year old, intelligent female with valued morals, and beliefs. I am completely intolerant of incognizance and stupidity. I'm a writer / musician who's been singing since I could form sentences, started piano not shortly after, picked up the drums at fifteen, and thought I'd try my hand at guitar at sixteen.
I am a former missionary that still gets so much joy out of helping those in need. I do accounting work and play music in Orlando, Florida. I attend charity events regularly, and I also spend my time volunteering with local organizations to help the needy. One I've been promoting is: www.guyswithties.org. It's a terrific organization doing many great things for the less fortunate. Keep checking back for event information.

- MY ADVICE -

If you have your heart truly into a relationship and really want it to work, sometimes, you have to fight for such a blessing. It's not easy in today's world to find someone that you remotely hold as dear or intensely care for.

Such feelings these days are almost regarded as menial. As if true love doesn't exist, today we live to settle for less than we deserve. How long can you go on with the endless cycle of self-punishment? Chaos exhumes the world but it does not have to thrive in our hearts, minds, and our souls.

It's time to take what is rightfully yours and not look back. Don't let that "one" person slip away because of little things you could have done or said and failed to do so. If they are as special as your heart tells you they are, they need to be treated as such.

In most cases, it's not difficult to achieve a greater happiness than you could have ever hoped for. You just need to know when it's in front of you, how to hold on to it, and how to let it happen for you. You are worthy of love. Worthy of everything the world has to offer.

Life is full of bumps, twists, and turns. It's so much easier to live life through these difficult times with someone there for you to lend a shoulder. Things in life are rarely simple and everyone hits low points.

Even in the most solid of relationships there are hard times that fall. It isn't the situation, what happened, or even your arguments about it that are most important. What matters is how you deal with those things collectively.

Stop lashing out purposely with hurtful words of which you know will only film your conscience later. Take the time to try to understand where the other person is coming from. Look at the way things may be from their perspective. Only then will you gain enough knowledge to best handle the particular event.

Fact is, even the greatest couples are both separate people in various ways. Everyone is different in some fashion or another. No one is going to have absolutely everything in common with someone else. It just isn't possible.

There was something that brought you together in the first place and if it's something worthwhile, you should do your part to render and validate it with the best you have to offer.

Nothing worth fighting for is easy. The keys to all successful relationships are trust, honesty, communication, and love. To make any effort half of your capability is to half tell what it means to you. For something such as a relationship to ever work, you have to give yourself 100% to that other person and put 100% of your efforts into it.

I've had this old saying for years, people will do what's important to them, and the saying holds true every day of my life. If your significant other is someone who's truly important to you, in your life, and in your heart, you'll do anything necessary to make that person happy, fulfilled, and a solid part of your life.

If that isn't something you think you can do, you're lying to yourself and this person you "portray" to care about. Let them know you're not ready for that level of commitment early. Before emotional investment is eminent. Hope later that you didn't make the worst mistake of your life.

I live by a few rules but one big one I try to remind myself of every day, "go big or go home." I put 100% into everything I do, including relationships. That way, if it works out I know I've done my part to deserve it. If not, I live without regret.

I'd like to meet:



I've often found thus far in my life, that most people will take what you give and disappear when you're in need. Not only monetarily, but emotionally as well. It's disheartening to be there for people, and be completely alone when you need someone. That's a part of life, however, I'd like to find some people to count on without a lot of drama. I enjoy easy resolutions. I refuse to fight and partake in pointless bickering. I'll leave a situation before I have wasted an ounce of effort on arguing.

Outside of that, I'm done with the typical, and done with the games. I need a man who's qualities include kindness, compassion, intelligence, outward beauty as well as in, honesty, loyalty, integrity, uniqueness, true generosity but someone who also knows how to have fun! Laughing is a must! I believe the keys to any successful relationship are good communication and having the ability to understand not only who you are and the way you work, but also knowing and understanding your partner. When you live, and would die for a person, that's when it's real. I don't believe many people experience that anymore. It's sad, but a lot of relationships lack the one solitary element that keeps a relationship what it is, love. They may think they're in love, or it is love at the time, but not truly know or feel what it's like to give themselves completely and put that other person before anything or anyone else.

You will never be able to put a price on values and beliefs. There are essentially three types of people. Those with solid values who'd never give them up or compromise them for anything, anyone, or in any situation, those taught values but lack the substance to make it a life style, and those who don't know better or never fathom to think of the proper way to handle or do things. I need a man with the total package. A man who holds fidelity of importance. Someone to make a life and family with. Someone who deep down will be my hero and best friend. Someone to count on no matter what is going on in life. A man who'll stand tall through tough times and not think once of leaving my side. I'm looking for the stuff people dream about, but seldom experience. No longer wasting time. No longer settling for less than I deserve. I'm holding out until I find it.

I want it all.
