About Me


i'm not perfect,
but it doesn't mean that i'm not amazing.
i’m that girl that’s in that constant quest of finding herself…
the girl that defines herself, and does not let others define her…
the girl that examines her every thought and feeling and action…
the girl who observes her environment and the people that accompany it…
the girl who doesn't ever want to stop learning…
the girl that admits to her faults…
the girl that won't give up a fight when she knows she's right…
the girl that knows the difference between quitting and letting go…
the girl that makes mistakes and learns from them…
the girl that appreciates the obstacles in life and doesn't run from them, even if she wanted to…
the girl that will push herself to the limit and face her fears…
the girl that is adventurous, dynamic, spontaneous and exciting…
the girl with high expectations for herself and others that surround her…
the girl with goals and the ambition to meet them…
the girl with plans…
the girl with pride that can sometimes be mistaken for arrogance…
the girl that wants and gives respect to others…
the girl that finds strength through courage…
the girl that is cautious when dealing with matters of the heart…
the girl that wants to be accepted for who she is and not for who she isn’t…
the girl who says she wants the truth and can handle it and really mean it…
the girl who adores her family and cannot live without her friends…
the girl that yearns to balance work and play…
the girl that is serious most of the time, but a child the rest of the time…
the girl that loses herself where great music and art are found…
the girl that wants to live her life and will live it.
it's my life and i want to live it
