About Me

For those of you who are into astrology, my sun is in Taurus and my moon is in Cancer. It basically means that overall there's harmony between my individuality and my personality. I'm determined, solid, and stubborn. I'm ambitious and a hard worker, although I've also been known to be lazy if time allows. I prefer comfort and ease in my personal life, but challenges in my educational and career life. I'm usually an easy-going person and quickly make friends with others, although I keep only a select few close to me. I notice that surroundings influence me greatly and that I'm very sensitive to outside influences (weather, moods of others). I seem like quite a practical and placid person but inside I'm more emotional. I'm cooperative when I want to be and success is important to me. I'm on a mission to a better version of myself by sometimes subduing my own strong will and bending to the better advice of others. That's me in a nutshell. Take it or leave it. I'm quite proud of the person I've become thus far. Some things I've done are amazing, and other things I'm not very proud of, but I'm constantly striving to become a better person and grow every day.Layout made by
