ABOUT ME

I hail from St. Louis, Missouri, but I'm currently living about three hours southwest of there in Springfield. I'm in college and loving every minute of it. A road trip, a cup of coffee, or guacamole always sounds good to me.

PHILOSOPHY

The measure of a life, after all, is not in its duration, but its donation.
-Corrie Ten Boom

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
-Søren Kierkegaard
