I have decided to take bigger risks in life. Instead of overanalyzing everything, I am just going for it. I love people-watching. I love working hard. I am trying to make better connections with people. I am trying to cut out all of the unnecessary things in my life. I am fascinated with the English lexicon. I can't get enough of reference books- dictionaries, thesauruses, almanacs, quote books... I love history and antique maps. Music has been my true love for as long as I can remember. There are few things better in life than a really great kiss.

"Happiness is always a by-product. It is probably a matter of temperament, and for anything I know it may be glandular. But it is not something that can be demanded from life, and if you are not happy you had better stop worrying about it and see what treasures you can pluck from your own brand of unhappiness."
