I want to travel & write stories about all kinds of people I'm a virgo. i'm a healer . Make me happy with Amelie and christmas lights. huge movie fan .find me at the library or being a bum at home. I like optomistic people. I embarrass myself ALL THE TIME. i get nostalgic when i look at the stars or when the breeze picks up a familiar scent
