My Full "About Me!":
About Me:
My purpose: Impacting lives [positively]. Making a difference through everything I do.
Music is my life. Its my escape. Its my inspiration. Instrumental aspects, incredible or emotional vocals, lyricseverything about music is perfect.
Dancing is another escape of mine. I miss it, I need to start again. I love just playing any music and dancing, not caring about anything else but the release.
Writing is one of my favorite hobbies. I love blogging, writing reviews, writing music, writing letters, writing informative pieces. I just love writing. Reading is another favorite hobby. I read everything, no favorite genre.
Art is everything to me. And everything, to me, is art. I love creating art, and I love looking at art created by others.
I dont judge books by their covers.
Sometimes I preach, but only because I care.
Straight-edge and proud! No drinking, drugs, smoking. Never have, never will.
I am a proud Solitary Eclectic Wiccan. Blessed Be!
I have been through a lot in my life, and I have grown from it all. Sometimes I wish I could go back and change things, but honestly, I dont regret anything. Everything has made me, me. I have learned from every experience and Im still learning.
I try to be nice to everyone. You never know what theyre dealing with. Some people may be mean, but you never know what happens behind closed doors.
I think a lot differently than others. I perceive things in a unique way. I over-analyze, but not in a bad way. I am typically a very objective thinker. I see all sides of a story, not just what Im supposed to see, then I make my decisions. Some see it as passive, I see it as active for all sides.
I am very empathetic, I feel others pain. But at the same time, I am very realistic. I give reality checks. If someone comes to me with a problem, I comfort them for a short while, but if needed I tell them the reality of the situation. Some see it as being cold, but people need to know the truth.
Im a peaceful person. I hate violence and abuse of all types.
Im a very verbal person. I love words. And I enjoy finding symbolism and hidden meanings in phrases, quotes, and other literature.
I am also a very visual person. I see beauty in things that other people see beauty in, as well as a lot of what others dont see beauty in. I love unique beauty in people, things, and life in general.
I am very motivated and I am so excited for my life!
I enjoy thinking. I like thinking about everything. I like to be philosophical about different topics, delve deeper into those which many people dont seem to think about too much.
I love being ME! Having my clothes/makeup/hair however I want, listen to whatever music I want, feeling/thinking/doing whatever I want, it all makes me who I am. If everyone was the same, there would be no reason to be anyone.

All of the outcasts and underdogs. You may get ridiculed day after day, but you dont let it bring you down. Be proud to be different, what is the point in living if you have to be the same as everyone else? Dont be ashamed of your sex, race, ethnicity, sexuality, religion, height, weight, style, life. Dont be afraid to look different, to think differently, to have different points of view, to have different opinions, interests, dreams, or realities.
Anyone who has overcome adversity on any level is a hero of mine. People who deal with hardships, and emerge stronger, better people, are those that I really look up to.
