About Me

I am the girl that takes the hard road in life. I find that I put myself in struggle after struggle, and I am unsure of whether or not it is merely because I am bored, or because somewhere in me believes that I will find myself better at the end of the road. To date, though, I do not know if I am better for any of it...Time is the ultimate guide.

I don't want to be the flower petal that withers and falls silently to the ground. I don't want to let the wind collapse me, the rain drown me, or the sun burn me. I want to learn to be the blossom that flourishes because she is weathered, because she could do nothing other than to grow.
... I can only aim for the sky ...

My Interests

Cars, music, writing, reading, music, cars, learning, philosophy, religious studies...

I'd like to meet:

Music:

Metal, hardcore (sort of),

Television:

Books:

Orual, from "Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold." by C.S. Lewis, "I had seen. I was not a fool. I did not know then, however, as I do now, the strongest reason for distrust. The gods never send us this invitation to delight so readily or so strongly as when they are preparing some new agony. We are their bubbles. They blow us big before they pop us. But I held my own without that knowledge. I ruled myself. Did they think I was nothing but a pipe to be played on as their moment's fancy chose?"

Heroes:

the people who stand, even when the weight of the world crushes them...

School

There's this walk in the mundane, the dance of routine, and the run of chores. As I faced the reality of this week, I find myself heavy with the weight of burden. Tomorrow, I begin the pattern of 05...

through these glass eyes...

There are times when I feel as if I've grown into a porcelain doll. I sit quietly on the shelf until someone decides to hold me, play with me, care for me. I watch the world pass me by and find that...

This thing that we call, "The One."

When one is raised with this concept of "The One," it can become difficult to associate any single person with this title. This title implies a sort of togetherness. It implies that there is a perso...
