I'm a twenty year old university student, studying Life Sciences and Economics. I am an indiscriminate book junkie. I am a hopeless romantic. I love quoting things (tv shows/books). I suffer from random bouts of insomnia. I have a malfunctioning filter between my mouth and brain. I am a cynic because of past experiences of putting too much trust in the goodness of humanity. I have a caustic and very sarcastic sense of humor. However, despite all this, I am happy about who I have become.
I am in the midst of sorting out/writing my first story on FictionPress.

Lyra: But suppose your dæmon settles in a shape you don't like?
Seaman: Well, then, you're discontented, en't you? There's plenty of folk as'd like to have a lion as a dæmon and they end up with a poodle. And till they learn to be satisfied with that they are, they're going to be fretful about it. Waste of feeling, that is.

Stories in Progress :
In Hindsight: Addy Hart thought she had it all all -- a budding career as an Architect at a prestigious firm, a loving family, a support system in her best friend, and a fiance that she had been with for the past eight years. But when her fiance leaves her on her wedding day, without an apology, Addy takes another look at her life. In hindsight, perhaps Alex wasn't the one she was supposed to end up with?
