...The rest of us can find happiness in misery

About Me

Melissa Marie Grubbs. I am an exceptional human being. I've learned to control my emotions instead of letting my emotions control me. I'm all about self-respect, self-control, self-confidence, self-reliance, self-improvement, self-awareness, and self-expression. I don't believe everything I hear and I love to question EVERYTHING, mostly so I can understand it better. I'm not a pessimist or an optimist I'm a REALIST. I write/make music simply for the fact it's the best way I know how to express myself and it's the best feeling in the world to me. I do my best to treat people how I want to be treated, and I definitely treat people how they treat me. I think logically and realistically and act accordingly. I want my life to have balance and structure, I'm still working on that. Hope is a gift and a curse. I'm unapologetic, strong-willed, and selective with an open mind. I take advice from people I trust but I also have a mind of my own. I believe the strongest foundation for any successful relationship is honest, open, and direct communication, anything less is a recipe for failure. The mind is a terrible thing to waste. Life inspires me. I don't believe first impressions are everything, because people rarely show their true colors when you first meet them. The past is the past, I don't forget it but I don't cling onto it, I have too much going on in the present and future to dwell on the past. I learn from my mistakes as well as other peoples mistakes. I have a desire to learn as much as I can about everything but my time, patience, and energy is limited. I like to be in control of my own actions at all times. Music is my life. Timing is everything. I don't look at the things I don't have, I try to appreciate the things I DO have, because way too many people including myself TAKE THINGS FOR GRANTED. I never try to impress anyone, I'm not afraid to be myself, if you don't like me then thats too damn bad.... for you!
