About Me: I'm brown and proud. I express myself through writing. To me, reading is gateway to knowledge. Reading takes me to another world, another time, another place. Reading provides the comfort that the world can't offer me at times. Music is my life. Music is my constant. Music is love. To me, music is something inside of you that is honest and real. Music evokes a passion inside me that I can't get from anything else besides God. I am a firm believer in God. When it comes to religion, I ignore politics and denominations. I believe in God, and I will always believe in God, even if the stars fall and tomorrow never comes. I am different. I am not perfect. I don't want to be anyone else but me. I believe in equality for all, regardless of race, caste, social class, and sexual orientation. I have a hard time dealing with change. I try to be patient with people who reject me. I love comics and video games. I have always wanted to be a Power Ranger. I have made mistakes, and I know I will continue to make mistakes. I also know that I will continue to learn from those mistakes. I refuse to let my past decisions define who I am. I believe in love and everything about it. God is love. I believe that love is one of the most powerful things out there. I believe in having faith, and never giving up. I'm a lover, not a fighter, but I would die before I let anything happen to my precious people. I know that life is not easy, but I believe that it's possible to be happy when everything falls apart. I'm running from the darkness and into the light. I'm weightless. I'm not going to let anything stop me. I am a singer, a dancer, a reader, a lover, an artist, a daughter, a sister, a hero, a friend, a teenager, a WRITER.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

"When life gives you lemons, make grape juice, then sit back and let the world wonder how you did it."

"I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes. I am out of control and at times, hard to handle, but if you can't handle me at my worst, you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." -Marilyn Monroe

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." -Marilyn Monroe

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day. And, I believe in miracles." -Audrey Hepburn

"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone. People, even more things have to be restored, reneweed, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone." -Audrey Hepburn

"Sometimes, the greatest battle you must win is the battle of your own will. You can't let people criticize you for your own ideas, dreams, and beliefs. You have to ignore the ignorance of others, and follow through with your plans. If you keep on going with your ideas, ignoring the ignorant, then you truely become a great person, and realize what life is: living without regret, and moving on through, stopping only to help and not put down."

"Remember the past. Remember your accomplishments, remember your mistakes. Remember what you've done, and remember how much you've grown from it. Remember the good and bad, but never dwell on it. Live every second of the present. God is unpredictable, and only he knows what he has planned for us. So live, really live, and you'll be glad you never wasted a second. Look forward to the future. See yourself becoming the person you've always wanted to be, and trust that God will guide you there. We were put on this Earth for a reason, so I intend to do whatever I can to live my live in the moment."
