About Me

The Girl Effect - Home
http://www.girleffect.org/


You Are a Dreaming Soul
Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult
You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.
Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?
Let's be real here....we're not all sunshine and daisies. Neither am I. & as much as I used to hold myself to a much higher ideal, these days I have come to realize something very important. I am Human. Nothing more, nothing less. I am a Dreamer & a Hopeful. A Skeptic and a Cynic. I am Restless, Imaginative, Artistic, a little Wild, Mixed Up, Determined, Complicated, an Explorer, Bittersweet, Romantic, Contemplative, Playful, and a Big Fish in a Little Pond looking for the Ocean. I've heard the term "Old Soul" a time or two, but lately it seems i've been making more mistakes than ever...yet, at the same time it seems like I am more on the right track now than I have been in years & getting things right for a change. I guess it's true that sometimes you Gain by Losing or even Learn the Greatest Lessons by Letting Go. I won't bore you with a Philosophical rant so i'll end with just a rough sketch of me..I mean, that IS why you're reading this afterall, right?
I am an ARTIST. I am not a great or famous artist. I don't earn fortune from selling my art. I haven't shown my art in elite galleries. I don't have half as much formal art education as many others.... BUT even still, I AM an Artist. & it's a passion of my soul. Always has been. Always will be. I enjoy a number of mediums... Acrylics, Graphite, Pastels, Clay, Found Objects, etc.
i LOVE Music. I spent eight years studying music in highschool & have taken some college courses. I play viola. I used to be in church choir. I've dabbled in singing and spoken word. But most of all...I am a Listener. I let it take me Away. I Tune into all the nuances of the music..down to the most remote sound. A slight instrument, that though the listener doesn't realize it, it pulls the whole piece together. I consume music. It is my Milk & Honey.
DANCE. Again, I am not this Fantastic, Jaw Dropping dancer....but Dance is a Fire that burns within me. & in the Way I consume Music, Dance consumes ME. Whether it's Salsa or Bachata...Middle Eastern Dance...House...Reggaeton...whatever...It Moves me, literally, and I cannot resist.
I am a HUGE Bookworm. Really. I can't even tell you how many books I have read in my lifetime.... Hundreds. Seriously. & I have a terrible habit of having a number of books going at the same time.
PHOTOGRAPHY. It is an itch i've been yearning to scratch for yeeeaaarrs....& it is something I have been exploring more as of late. I am a purely Amateur photographer & thats fine by me. I have learned that a photographer sees the world in a COMPLETELY different light than the Average Joe. In the same way I seek all the remote nuances of music, I have learned to do the same with Life. To see things from another Angle..& to look for the Small Beauty where it can be found. The world is truly magnificent...it just all depends on how you're Looking at it.
NATURE. I am an Earth Element through and through. I find a deep sense Solace and Lucidity when I am in Nature. There is a Calm, a Peace, a sense of Ease...of being able to Breathe easier. A feeling of Oneness that I cannot explain. But I more than Crave it. I NEED it. Nowonder I work in a garden center and will be majoring in Zoology huh?
TRAVEL. i LOVE to travel. Period. A couple years ago my aerial travels began, and I have been going since. I've always been restless, but I suppose as I get older & the more I learn, the more I realize the World is my Playground. & believe me...I intend to Play. :)
There is a GREAT deal more to me than just these simple things.....this is only a General outline.... so I suppose if you want to know more...then Ask.
RIP KORY NATON KYLE. YOU LEFT THIS LIFE TOO SOON....OR PERHAPS GOD FELT IT WAS RIGHT ON TIME. BUT I MISS YOU NOW, AND I ALWAYS WILL. WE WILL MEET AGAIN. I AM SURE OF IT. YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN.
