About Me

Hi! I'm Marlene. I love my family and friends. I believe in God.
I am excited for and in love with life!
♥
I’m the new kid. I run through my town and scream until I faint. I was fool enough to almost be it, and cool enough to not quite see it. I’m notorious for losing streaks and broken hearts. I am a lesson you’ve learned; I am a hope that is free. You can call me a safe bet, and I’ll bet that I’m not. My heart is on my sleeve. I’m an addict for dramatics, and I confuse it for love. But when I fall in love, I take my time.
♥
I'm learning.. to take a breath and let it out.. that it's safe to fall if I just trust the ground that I stand on.. to take back the beat of my heart.. to hold on to the things I favor most.. to be young, think smart, stay true, and just follow my heart..
♥

My Interests

spending time w/ family and friends. contemplating. music. running. going to concerts/shows. scrabble. laughing. crunching leaves. looking at the stars. singing in the shower and car.

I'd like to meet:

People around whom I can be myself. People who inspire me to do good things and think more freely.
*
Someone with whom I can be casually dressed and in deep conversation, talking about our lives like we’ve known each other forever...

"Let's say God puts two people on earth and they are lucky enough to find one another. But one of them gets hit by lightning. Well, then what? Is that it? Or perchance you meet someone new and marry again. Is that the [person] you should be with? Or was it the first? When the two of them are side by side, were they both the one for you and you just met the first one first? Or is the second one supposed to be first? And is everything just chance-- or are some things meant to be?" {Ever After}
