I am awesome.

And sometimes, I vomit things on to paper to aid in breathing.

I write for me, to release what it is I am feeling at that moment, and because I like turning those feelings into something hopefully more beautiful.

All experiences are true.

I am likely the most honest person you will ever come across.

I don't like repeating words too closely together.

I am not quite as serious as my writing portrays; in daily life I am known to say "that's what she said" at least twice a day. I am learning to balance all parts of me.

I wrap myself up inside words each and every day, whether through music or through pages.

I am not nearly as intimidating as I seem; most forces of nature aren't.

I don't know if I have what it takes in life for everybody's "regular" plan.
