About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
Read my Journal: http://cactiflower.livejournal.com/ I am the girl who is in love with life. I'm living my life and following my dreams. Plus, I am a bit of a poet. The universe is pushing me towards singleness at the moment, and I've just decided to go with it. Recently I've discovered that you can love someone with your whole heart, but if you can't love them in the right way, then the first part doesn't matter so much. I've learned to take chances (even if you get burned), how I need to be loved, but I've also learned what my definition of faith is. I'm talking particularly within a relationship here. Faith in a relationship means that you trust that it wil all work out, even if it might have to get there in a round about way. That's part of my definition of love, too. True love is not keeping someone; it might include letting someone go for a bit. You see, what I've learned is that if you really love someone, you love them even if you are not with them per say, that you Walk with a Smile for them, (great song by Pete Schmidt, check it out), that their enrichment and happiness are important to you. Sometimes that means they can’t do those things by your side. Love is not the end all—it is the all-encompassing.True love is faith in the fruition.Love does not cling desperately.My mom got me this painting on Venice Beach, and it says," Never stop believing in love. Butterflies fly from above with the simple message of love: Don't hold on too tight, let your wings catch just the right breeze and get your float on. Live life like a beautiful song. Never stop believing in love."And that's kinda how I feel about relationships.I tend to think that all people are good and telling the truth. It bites me in the butt sometimes (like recently in particular), but I'd rather not see the world like a big looming thing of fear. I like to trust people, even men (gasp!) even if they end up breaking my heart. I guess I believe in such thing as a beautiful illusion. It doesn't make it a good thing, but it's like that Garth song, The Dance. You could have gone without all the pain, but you would have missed the dance, the scent of their hair, and the quiet moments alone. Pain does not negate experiences; it augments and justifies the beauty that was.I speak what is on my mind. I like just about everybody. I hate lies and liars. Family is very important to me. I believe in one God, and see the love that is a result of Him?Her? every where. I am active at the Newman Center, and way into NCSC. The greatest cathedral in the universe is the one that resides in your own heart.I love to be outside and in new and different places. I am a huge nerd who loves poetry and will skip class to finish a chapter of a really good book. I'm pretty sure that I'll end up being that cool hippie aunt that sends back presents to my brother's kids, and I'm okay with that. I never want to run out of stories to tell, and I am going to live my life for the sake of happiness and enriching experiences.
