I was raised in a two parent home, nothing exciting really.
Never knew or met my grandparents.

Born and raised in Houston, TX.
Lived in Cleveland, OH, Fort Myers, FL, and Philadelphia, PA in a span of 7 years.

I’ve had four true loves…and counting…
I’m only doing this grad school thing to compete with my overachieving family.
I’m the black sheep of my family.

It’s always better in the morning.
When I look back, I should have known I was a lesbian at a very young age!

It doesn't matter how great someone is...it doesn't mean shit if that's not what the other one is looking for.

The scariest part interning at a psychiatric unit is NOT the patients themselves; for me, it's dealing with my emotions listening to the patients' life histories.
At the end of the day of my first week of fieldwork in the psych unit, I realized the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it will take to blossom.
I want to be very close to someone I respect and admire and have somebody who feels the same way about me.
It's not that I want things MY way; just have the courage to show me a BETTER way.
I'm hoping for that someone to love me just a LITTLE more than I love her.
