CURRENT MISSION

Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the southern United States. I'm about to graduate from college and spending my final semester in Valencia, Spain. I have never been to Europe before, but I have already fallen in love with what I have seen so far!

PHILOSOPHY

Loving people is a choice. Just remember that it doesn't have to be returned, it doesn't have to be recognized, it doesn't even have to seem right... but it is. People deserve love even if they never learn to love others. People deserve to be treated like they are special and what they do in life is important even if who they are today doesn't demonstrate lovable qualities.
-I said this once to a friend, it's true about me.
