About Me

Constantly changing and rearranging until the pieces of the puzzle make sense. I've been in Atlanta for 4 years and counting and trying mend the rips in my fabric. I like metaphors so I speak in lots of those terms. I'm a pretend writer when I'm not blocked, I'm a retired karoke singer, I like french toast and have realized that the simple things in life are what makes me happiest. Arms to hold me, my favorite pillow, occasional Target shopping extravaganzas, good shampoo and a roof over my head. I don't think it's too much to ask for.I've learned that I'm unable to make my life an open book until I am able to trust you with my life. I have scars to prove how many times I've fallen down just to learn how to get back up.Get to know me. Cute Myspace Layouts
