CURRENT MISSION

to appreciate the beauty of the world around me and to meet friendly people!

ABOUT ME

Hrmsies...Well, I have been told that I am a very genuine person. I can be very reserved, but I also really like to listen to people, not that I don't enjoy talking, but I'm more of a "deep-in-thought" sort. I enjoy the curiosities of the world, beauty in art, music, and writing, the small differences in other cultures that can really stand out, words of encouragement, and chocolate. I realize that is a way rando [I also like abbreves...and weird phrases such as 'wicked pissa' and 'good craic'] hodgepodge, but I guess that's the way my brain works best! :]

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be grateful for what I have and I work with God to try to make myself a better person, but no one is perfect. I believe that everything does happen for a reason. And I believe that everyone has a purpose for their life. I like to pursue the joys in life! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Blasket Island in County Kerry, Ireland. It's so gorgeous. And it's abandoned, it was last inhabited like 80 years ago, and now people can sometimes go on it and stumble around through the old ruins, the random donkeys and the extreme hills and beaches. Its straight out of a movie, really a highlight of my time in Ireland.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to think I know a lot about psychology-related stuff as I read way more than I even need to for class, it's a huge interest of mine. I could "teach" about that! I also can knit a bit.
I'd like to learn to cook a variety of meals, but also I'd really like to learn anything!
I'd love to share in good, deep conversation.
