I believe in Crystal Lite

About Me


I'm a failed psychology masters student pursuing a life in happiness and making a difference. Words make my world....they brighten and enlighten making life a tiny bit clearer. My life is beautiful because of them. I am alive to live, and enjoy. I believe in the wonders of parsimony, the value of helping others, and simply having friends that love you. I believe in love. I believe it exists, and I believe I was blessed enough to find it, and I believe that it will keep me safe. Love alone, not those actions taken to keep it, because they strangle what makes it beautiful. If its real, it will stay, without struggle. MMMM....
