I see life in images and pictures, in feeling and moments, and in laughter and tears. So when I read something online, all words and typical ugly font, I generally read every fifth word. Some of you guys write really amazing fifth words. And while I anticipate actually writing in my little corner of the internet, today I think it’s only appropriate to give you guys the cliff notes version of me. The version that not only includes boring font, but also small words and short sentences typed on the edge of laughter and love.
Taking pictures and documenting life brings me ridiculous amounts of joy.
I love my dog more than many people love their humans.
Music moves my heart and soul in every possible way.
I love surprises. Especially if the surprise involves an act of love. (Enter, why I am never allowed to watch engagement videos.)
Talking about emotions is one of my favorite things.
Having fun and laughing is also one of my favorite things.
Sometimes 5 and 6 come into conflict. For everyone else.
Dancing is almost always appropriate in my book.
I’m most likely not good at dancing. I have zero objectivity on this and also don’t actually care.
I’ve always wanted to write and am so excited for the opportunity to “have to” on this trip.
Jesus and I were friends for a long time before I ever loved Him.
I used to tell my family where they had to sit at dinnertime. Planning my life (and seating choices) is still in my nature. God laughs at me, probably.
I tend to organize events and people by habit, but really I’d prefer if someone else did it.
The last big adventure I took was moving to New York for grad school at NYU. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve made to date.
My family and friends ground me, and their love, no matter how far away, gives me courage.
A big part of my identity is my career as a therapist. This has been SO hard to leave for a year.
I think teenagers are awesome and hilarious…probably because I don’t have one.
I see beauty often and easily in the world around me. In a space, on a book, in light, on a person. Wherever.
Nature just wows me. Every time.
I’m completely scared of snakes. Every time.
I love to read and am often reading 3 books at a time, and to most people’s horror, not finishing at least one of them.
I am still working out how I could be both an extrovert and an introvert, depending on the hour/day.
Money never makes sense to me.
Being near water, in water, on water, brings me peace. I grew up boating and waterskiing and I think this is probably a “for life” feeling.
My life verses are from Romans 12:9-16 (MSG). They start by saying, “Love from the center of who you are; don’t fake it…”
Thanks for visiting me!
