About Me

I'm a little girl who grew up with a huge dream-it has always stayed the same and now has continued into this. I don't believe that dreams are too big to reach and you shouldn't either. I'm fairly simple when it comes to what is important to me... they are as follows: Faith, Family, Love, Singing/Songwriting, dreaming outside of the box and sweet tea (What can I say? I'm a southern girl).I believe in saying I LOVE YOU multiple times a day. I have extreme respect for anyone who makes or has made their passion their every day job. I think too much. I am flawed. I'm not an I can girl, I'm an I will girl. I'm a go getter and I like to get things done. If you were to see me driving on the road, I would most likely be swerving because I'd be typing lyrics in my phone. (They always come at the most inconvenient time ex. shower...driving...anywhere but where I have a pen and paper). I think in lyrics. I'm an insomniac. I wish I could sleep all day and stay awake all night. I really adore writing when its dark and quiet. I love the night time. I have fallen in love with winter weather because it's more fun to bundle up in scarves,hats, gloves and big coats, rather than summer clothes. New York City stole my heart. I love going to movies alone... its my favorite escape when I need to set my world straight. I love dabbling in anything and everything I've never tried. I am a deep thinker and most definitely a lyrics person. I believe there are two kinds of people. People who listen to lyrics and people who listen to melodies. I am the former. But I still do believe that the combination is where the magic is. I believe life is too short to be what other people expect you to be. I love movies especially one's written by Nancy Myers. (A.k.a. Something's Gotta Give, The Holiday) or Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous and ElizabethTown) If I had a soundtrack for my life it would be written by Hans Zimmer. I think he is absolutely genius. I'm really bold/ballsy but I do have my shy moments from time to time. I like to play with words and sometimes I only make sense to myself...actually, probably a lot. I wish people would be more individual. I'm sick of seeing clones everywhere. The greatest gift I've ever been given is to put my thoughts to music. I often keep my inner most thoughts to myself and music has really given me the freedom to let out the things that need to be set free from me. I don't like to brag on myself and often get shy when I am talked about. I love old things. Anything and everything vintage- including people. Anything with a story behind it. I'm quirky and weird. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I love very, very hard. I desire to always grow no matter how far this dream takes me. I want to always improve and work hard. I know nothing about sports... but I am slowly learning! I really love pickles and chocolate together. There's just something so yummy about the sweet and salty combination. I want to be great. I believe in trying to be great. I believe that the quickest way to fail is to not try. I feel so humbled to have your support.

The thing that I've learned thus far in life is that it is really important to live in the truth. To always seek, learn, and know the truth. To not be afraid or fearful of the truth. To speak the trut...
