Hi there :)

I'm a Christian before anything else. I hate religion. Legalism is just another feeble attempt at making man seem perfect, which he is not. No, religious is not what I am. I have a relationship with My Lord. Each morning I awake to His right hand lifting me up. I spend time talking to Him and reading the Love Letter He wrote me (the Bible). Studying that letter is literally like my oxygen. I adore learning new things about the Man that created me, died for me, and filled me with Grace and Love. Without Him, I wouldn't be who I am. He makes me the girl you're reading about right now. He's shaped me and is still shaping me. Honestly, God is my best friend, and I would never trade him in for anyone. I love Him :)

So, I'll be honest. Ever since I was quite young, I've had a passion for reading and writing. Reading books was my escape from reality. I started reading at age 5, and ever since then I've always wanted to do what those authors did. I wanted to create an alternate reality, an escape, for someone else. I wanted someone else to feel what I feel when I read. So that led me to where I am today, loving writing. Now, it hasn't always been an easy ride. I've had times where I just up and quit writing. For the past 6 months, I gave up on it. But that's because I lost myself these past 6 months. I was going through a huge growing process. However, I regained what I lost. I regained my God, my peace, and my writing. Three of the most important things in my life. So now I'm getting back into the swing of things with my writing. It's taking a bit of time but I'm getting there. So pardon me if my writing is a bit rusty over the next few months. thanks loves :)

I have a million interests that I could go on for years about. So I'll keep it simple and sweet.

Friends mean alot to me, but I don't have very many true best friends that I can run to when need be. I've been betrayed before and it's killed me. However, I'm healing. Very recently I discovered that through everything, there's a purpose. I was hurt by one "friend" but it led me to pretty much the greatest friend I could ask for (love you ariel darling).

On top of that, Traveling means a great deal to me. It's my hugest dream to backpack through the world. I really want to see Israel, Greece, Rome, Australia, Brazil, the great wall of China, Germany, Africa, England, and bascially everywhere :)

Better by far you should forget and smile than that you should remember and be sad. --Christina Rossetti
