I'm a thinker and a talker in the best ways I know how to be. Sometimes I'm great at saying what I mean and sometimes I put both feet in my mouth. Either way, I'm real and my intentions are always good.
I love Jesus but sometimes I swear like a sailor.
I love flowers, warm days, sunshine, and summer. I could live every day of my life barefoot, in a sundress. I'm the girl who sits outside late on a clear night so I can stare at the stars. The world is such a big place and we're all so small. It's humbling.
I love hugs and I like laughing until it hurts.
I enjoy time to myself but I hate to feel alone.
I have an odd sense of anxiety but I control it the best I can.
I have an incredibly strong intuition that I'm becoming more in tune with each day. The universe speaks to us constantly and if we pay attention, it's crazy in amazing ways.
I love to travel and I'm down to go to Greece for the view, Kenya for the giraffes, India for the food, and Italy just because. One day I will experience them all.
I take pictures of all I can because documenting memories is the only way to keep them vividly alive.
What I write about are my own experiences mixed with those of others. We're all so different yet we're all just the same. We can always find a way to relate to and learn from one another.
I welcome, appreciate, and thank everyone who comes to my page.
