About Me


I wish I could fly.I am Cassiann. I am happily taken by my wonderful Cameron.I currently attend the College of Saint Benedict. I am studying Social Work and English. After graduating, I plan on getting my Master's in Clinical Social Work and eventually becoming a Therapist. Although, if I could be what ever I wanted to be in life, I would be a poet. I have always expressed myself through writing. It's what I do and what keeps me together, what keeps me alive.My favorite book is The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub. It's life-changing. My favorite food is Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and my favorite movie changes just about every week.I am very fond of books, but that is putting it mildly. I find books to be full of knowledge and intelligence and someday, I wish to write a book and spread my knowledge into the world. I try to hide my emotions and my true feelings from most people. I am usually very easy to read and I find that makes me vulnerable. I am one of the most pessimistic yet hopeful people you'll ever know. Unusual should be my middle name. I have a tendency to doubt anything good that comes my way.I have only just realized that I adore socialization. I was a loner most of my high school years, but I have come to realize I prefer to be in the presence of, ultimately, my beloved, or a friend or a small group of friends. I rather dislike large social gatherings, as I find them to be very impersonal. I enjoy stimulating conversation. I should learn how to smile more.I love all accents. I love controversy and contrast, and it won’t take you long to find out that I usually do not make sense. I am opinionated, but I usually won’t speak my opinion aloud, as I am a horrid debater.I am a kind, compassionate person, even though I realize these kinds of people do not get very far in life, usually. People often come to me for advice and I try to lend a helping hand to anyone I can. I have a need to try and understand everything, which annoys me. I am a very spiritual person, and although I am not fond of church or other traditional practices, I am a Christian. I am also very interested in the unknown.I am afraid of life-like dolls and large insects. I am allergic to practically everything. I am a cat person, but love all animals, and I hope to have many in my future. Many people hurt me without meaning to. I am a very sensitive person and am emotionally fragile. I am also a very empathic person. One thing that not many people know about me is I'm not afraid of death. I am afraid of dying before accomplishing everything I want to in life.

My Interests


we are not alone, we feel an unseen love
we are sons and heirs of grace
we are children of a light that never dims
a love that never dies, keep your chin up child
and wipe the tears from your eyes
stand ready and tall, reflect the lightthey found me face down in the street
on the night you left to find,
another place to sleep in rain and regret.
they said they tried everything, but it was no use
yeah, they tried everything and everyone, but you...

I'd like to meet:

You can never have too many friends.
