About Me

I have an insanely good memory but only for things like what my best friend wore on the first day of 6th grade and what I ate for breakfast the day I lost my virginity. my sense of smell is almost too strong and I am constantly being taken down by waves of nostalgia because every smell reminds me of someone or something. I love the way the pavement smells on hot summer nights, just after the rain begins to fall. I love the smell of fall and rotting leaves in the forest. I love the smell of the ocean. I like the way it feels to stick my whole hand inside a can of paint. I like days that have the perfect sequence of events. I love the almost sunburnt feeling you get from a long day at the beach and never really staying out of the water long enough to let the suncreen soak in. I like being understood, I hate being forgotten. I hope to die laughing. I hope that my husband will be tall with nice arms. I hope that i can help people and I hope that I will always remember what it feels like to be happy.
