About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Never settle down

ABOUT ME

I'm the kinda person that's always ready to go and to try new things. I like to make memories and to have stories to tell, whether they be good or bad. My goal is to live life and have fun. I mean, I don't really see the point in doing otherwise. I'm friendly and genuine (literally I can't lie), I laugh a lot and always have a smile on my face. I appreciate good, sarcastic humor and can spit it myself. I'm a woman of few words, but I feel like those words are (hopefully) well placed.

PHILOSOPHY

"I believe that happy girls, are the pretty girls."
-- Audrey Hepburn

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have a ridiculous fear of street performers. Musicians are ok, but it's the people who are painted and dressed up, the ones that don't move until you give them money, they terrify me. So when I went to Barcelona I saw a guy like that. He had a squeaker in his mouth that made him sound like a dog toy. He started squeaking at me, and I got super flustered and just wanted to run away, which I did. A couple of days later I saw the same guy, in the same outfit, but with a lady. They kissed, and then he got on his bike and rode away, as if he was wearing normal clothes and going to a normal job. I guess it's obvious, but I had just never thought of street performers as having lives beyond their jobs, let alone girlfriends.
Also like every sunset is gorgeous. I'm sunrises are too, but I don't wake up early enough to see them
