Got FAITH?

Forget regret or life is yours to miss...

About Me

Ok...well, the last New Year's Resolution I made was to be a better person. So, that's me for now: your basic all around NICE person. Yeah, it sure sounds like a simple enough task, but it is constantly the most challenging struggle to achieve. The most I can say is that I am a decent person. I try to push on through this life with a conscience and as a survivor. And I believe that now I am finally enjoying my time. I have respect for hard work. But I also like to party. I am a professional aesthete. I try my best to find beauty in everything. Share this interest with me and I will probably love you forever. I'm also a perpetual dreamer. I think that's my way of surviving the stress of life. I have always been this way and always will be...constantly pondering and asking questions. I love people. But people can be real shit, too. I am scared of aliens. I don't want to be an alien. Um.... I am totally random. I try to set practical goals. And I choose not to depend on anybody but me. I go to bed late and I almost never sleep. I am perpetually tardy but trying to change. It's hard. I am difficult. I am lazy as hell. And as much as I love that, I'm doing better now at getting off my ass. I sing to myself. I sing out loud whenever I feel like it. I follow my intuition and step to the beat of my own drum. There is always music playing in my head. I love to dance, even if I have to dance alone. Call me strange, call me eccentric...whatever. If that's a flaw, you can't make me feel bad for it. I cherish the child in me. I intend to never stop learning. I will be forever inquisitive. I feel deeply, but I think even more. I may talk shit, but I do not judge. Don't get in my way and I will stay out of yours. I welcome friends. I believe that knowledge is power. And that true compassion is the key to that. I believe in sharing the things I learn if they will benefit somebody else. I will try to get to know as many people as I can in my lifetime, as I believe that everybody has something special about them. I have a lot of love. And I have many friends. I am sure you are also worth the time. I believe in honesty. I don't have patience for bullshit. Don't feed me a line, as I will see right thru you. I am quiet. I do not always react in an obvious way. So you may think that you have fooled me, but I am just letting you think that. Do not underestimate me. Do not take me for granted. I have a dry sarcasm. And people take me too seriously. So many think I am mean. I'm a NICE girl. But I DO like to bite. I handle shit well. I don't hold grudges. But hurt me and I will always remember that pain. So just don't do it. I think that malice is cowardly. So, if you have a lot of anger, so much that you have to make others feel bad for it, then you must either be really ashamed or just too fucking scared to embrace life. And that is ignorant. That makes me sad. And that makes me want to spit on you. One last point (since you've read on this far, anyway): don't go thinking you have any clue at all about me simply because of these random words I've thrown together to make me sound remotely interesting. I AM interesting...because I exist and I am still alive. I intend for my life to mean something. I don't know enough of anything, and anyway I may be the greatest bullshiter you will ever meet. Dunno. Get to know me. If you already do, you are probably my friend, and... I Thank YOU :)
