I write because that is who I am. I write because words on paper often sound more intelligent than words in thin air. There is a reassuring permanence of the written word. I write because I have a soul full of feeling, a heart full of yearning and a mind full of dreaming. So who am I?
I'm a senior print journalism major at Southern Adventist University. I live a pretty average life, but that's when you leave all the blessings out of the picture. I love life. I'm random. I find joy in making people laugh. I'm sensitive, but as the years go by, I'm learning to use that sensitivity in a constructive way, rather than in frequent displays of emotion (FDE). I love having people over. I am content to stand alone, yet I am happiest when I am surrounded by friends. I could describe myself with many words and in many ways, but if a person was to peel away all the layers of who I am, I wonder what they would find. I'm stubborn and independent. I almost always say what is on my mind. I've lost my fear of people or of the fleeting opinions they often form. I firmly believe that life is worth living, and not just living, but enjoying. Cliche? Yes. Overused? No.
So, now that you know about me in a small paragraph. . . maybe what I say will make more sense (but most likely not).
