About Me

BRIANNA HOPE♥
i love life. i love my family & i love my friends. i'm an expert at cuddling. i love surrounding myself with the people i love, but i also see the bliss of solitude. i'm really awkward if you're just getting to know me. i love the spanish language. i don't know what my future holds, and while i sometimes worry about it, i mostly like the element of surprise. i take photographs. i swing dance. i make things: cards, scarves, mittens, and tip jars to name some. i love sending and receiving mail. i want dreads. i love tattoos and piercings. i listen to music...lots of it. i want you to talk to me. i want to be friends with everybody. i want to be loved and have love and give love. i'm fearful that my life & lifestyle don't reflect the passion & compassion i have for people. i sometimes inadvertantly turn my concern into mothering.
