CURRENT MISSION

Seeing as much beauty as I can, everywhere in the world. Increasing wonder, fun, and awe because life is too crazy not to let yourself be astounded by it all.

ABOUT ME

Im an English major, I think I wanna be a teacher but I would rather wander the world seeing new things, making new friends, and expanding my mind and experiences. I used to do theater and still love most things related to it.
My favorite people are absolutely ridiculous and I wouldnt have them any other way. I love concerts and all types of music and sitting on porches or in fields and talking for hours about existence and the universe and anything else that comes up. I love taking pictures and wearing ridiculous earrings and vintage shoes.
I think if I could live anywhere it would be a little teal house surrounded by palm trees on the edge of Marathon in the Florida Keys.

PHILOSOPHY

enjoy yourself, dont take life too seriously, be open and honest about who you are even if you dont like a part of it, never stop thinking, wondering, questioning or dreaming
my philosophies on life are evolving daily

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i think everything different from my normal life is amazing, the fast pace of new york, the ruins in rome

but the most amazing feeling i can think of and also my favorite feeling is standing ankle deep in coastal water and staring off into the miles of emptiness, knowing you're right on the edge of things. i also like the stars on clear nights for the same reason.

Teach, Learn, Share

i could probably teach you a lot about poetry and maybe some new words? i know a lot about english and a handful about theater. also i know all of the allusions in "American Pie." the song, not the movie.

I would love to learn anything interesting you have to teach. I like eating all different foods but i know how to cook very little. im better at baking. i love learning about eastern religion and being introduced to new music. sometimes i wanna learn to play guitar.
