Lori

"She got a beautiful mind, you can't buy that.."I'm an incredibly dynamic and unique individual. I am as real as they come and I pride myself on it. I'm blunt and forward because it's part of how I define honesty. I'm respectfully opinionated and when I do occasionally step out of bounds and offend someone, my ego is not too big to apologize. I care about people and it shows. I have a very positive attitude and I hope it's contagious. I'm superfly outgoing (yes I said superfly) and I can almost guarantee that if you asked any of my friends to describe me in one word, it would be CRAZY. I'm overly sarcastic and some people hate it. I laugh at myself all the time…and at my own jokes. I laugh a lot, actually. I've been to hell and back in my 23 years and people (after learning more about me) are always astounded at the person I am today. I'm resilient…and strong…and I just so happen to think that . I love my friends and family and the relationships we have. I'm grateful for every single thing I have (and for the things I don't have, because it gives me something to strive for.) I find beauty and amusement in the simple things. I have found myself quietly thanking God for something as simple as a warm day. I love being in love and I can't wait to find my soulmate. I'm discovering new career passions and I look forward to fulfilling them. The journey is the reward...so dream, explore, discover.--------"I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of REACHING his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and then I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism."--Elizabeth Gilbert in her book Eat, Pray, Love ...I hear ya sister.
