About Me

I am in a constant state of transition. My goal in life is to always be learning, always growing. I am a christian. I believe that christianity is a process. I am learning what it means to love life and love myself. I think this is purely by grace. I am loved and that is huge. I don't think it's possible to truly embrace the love of God and not be changed by that. I am young but I feel very old. I am broken but I've never felt so complete. Though I feel alone, I am never alone. I am divorced. This is not a painful topic for me. Not anymore at least. This event changed me more than anything anything else in my life. The biggest thing I learned from this is what it means to love someone. I hope that one day I will be able to experience that again (the love, not the divorce)

My Interests

Art, sports, yoga, movies, reading, traveling, coffee, and people

I'd like to meet:

I want to meet people. I want to meet people who have the same interests as me. People who are sarcastic and can trash talk, I need lessons on this. People who embrace life and know that they will get out of it what they put in. People who are wise. People who are not afraid of taking risks. People who are different than me. People who can teach me and open my eyes to new things. So...pretty much anyone. Everyone has a different story to tell.
