About Me

I am pregnant with possibility.
I am pink.
I am an excellent pen pal.
I want to know what my life really tastes like.
I dance in open spaces.
I have secret crushes.
I like when people stroke my head and tell me small things about their days and friends.
I'd like to know what makes your heart sing.
My mom is my hott date to all weddings.
My friends are my board and my fireside.
I seek to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with my God.
I speak Chinese.
I try to stay hydrated, otherwise I get tired.
I am ripe.
Jesus makes sense of the deepest longings in my soul.
"But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, then it is better for you to cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor,into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears."
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
