About Me


The only way we can find peace in our own hearts, find the path way that leads to liberation, is by changing ourselves, not by changing the world - Ayya Khema
I'm such strange girl, I think I come from another world. I live by the Edge of the Deep Green Sea. I have a strange Fear of Ghosts and I hear Other Voices. On a Night Like This, I feel like Charlotte Sometimes, lost in a Forest all alone. Like a scared princess from another time. I smile, always Just like Heaven, Open to the Letters from Elise. I sometimes get lost Inbetween Days, But I will always stay Close to Me.
I'm a Capricorn with Pisces Ascendant (rising) and Sagittarius moon.
