CURRENT MISSION

Living Life.

ABOUT ME

My brother and I recently got a house together and I've finally moved out of the small town that I grew up in. My brother and twin sister and I traveled through Europe this summer and I am so ready for the next opportunity to travel abroad. I am a musician and my brother is a teacher.

PHILOSOPHY

Oh boy what a loaded question. But a lovely one, nonetheless! I live my life because I'm here, so I may as well. I used to live life and not see the beauty in it. I always felt like I was waiting on something. One day I realized that this IS life and I'm simply waiting on myself to Let Go. So I did. and now life couldn't be more beautiful!
