About Me

New year... new space...new goals...new priorities...perhaps not entirely new, but in need a shift of sorts. yeah yeah, define said shift. all the regular stuff. Love more, hate less. Surround yourself with people you love that love you for who you are and what you stand for. My family and friends are the most important thing in my life and I value and respect my relationships tremendously. The core people in my life have been there for me for years and I am blessed to have them. I love to spend my time with them doing various things from going to dinner and movies to shopping to field trips to being roof top bound. I love to dance, read, hear new music, go to new places and learn new things. I have a ridiculous amount of energy and somehow maintain a flexible attitude. I am pro-active in most areas of my life and hate being reactive. I love to laugh and think my friends are hilarious. I am fiercely independent and always want the freedom to want things, not need them. I can be extremely outgoing and friendly, but take a while to really open up emotionally to people and let them in. Not a big fan of gossiping or talking about other people as I have my own stuff to deal with. I canâ€™t handle constant negativity or people who claim to be friends with people but are disrespectful and crude. I stand up for the people I love and care about always and think consistency is huge. I like spending time by myself and taking â€œtime outsâ€. I have an insane amount of patience, yet when the respect goes, it almost never comes back. I always give people second chances, but not third and fourth ones. I love to share stories and build memories with people. I am open minded and have no right to judge anyone. And of course, still a huge believer that....... Communication is key. Love is acceptance. Honesty is imperative. Loyalty should be a given. Respect is crucial, without it you have nothing. Trust is essential. Growth can be painful, but really enlightening. Responsiblity for one's action shows character. Integrity is really important. Intention can be seen in all you do, so say and do things like you mean it- it matters. Drama, hypocrisy and inconsistency are not even remotely in the vicinity of acceptable. Change is constant, so enjoy the moment you are in. And finally, Be happy with what you have- much better to look at life that way than worrying about what you don't have... If you have any questions...ask.Myspace For Girls Only - MyGirlySpace.com
