The Girl

I believe in laughing till it hurts.  I believe in soul mates.  I believe in second chances and learning from your mistakes.  I believe in forgiving but not forgetting.  I believe that you can’t have friends until you learn how to be one.   I believe that some people just don’t deserve to be a part of your life.  I believe in true love and “happily ever after” regardless of my views on marriage.  I believe in the possibility of making dreams come true and fighting for what you want in life.  I believe that certain people just can’t be trusted.  I believe that everything happens for a reason.  Take chances, make mistakes, live and learn but have no regrets because at some point it was exactly what you wanted.

I’m overly sarcastic and you will either love it or hate it … but don’t judge me until you get to know me.  I’m a huge sports nut and I’d rather play ball with the guys than go shopping with the girls.  I’ve learned to let go of certain things (and people) in my life – don’t let the past become your future.  I’ve learned to accept my life for the way it is and to make the most out of every day. I’ve learned that a glass bottle of wine cures a really bad day.

I’m a tom-boy turned city girl, just trying to figure out what I want in life, relationships, friendships and my career.  I have endured some of life’s most challenging moments, like losing both of my parents by age 20 and surviving cervical cancer.  Those are the moments that truly tested my strength and endurance and made me realize that life’s too short to hold a grudge or start a fight or take someone (or something) for granted.

In 2009 I decided to make that life-changing decision that I have been putting off for four years.  I'm fighting my quarter-life crisis and pursuing my dreams.  I'm ready for a new beginning, new memories, and continuing my road to inner happiness.

Always looking forward, never looking back.
