Hello, my name is Daina, I am 26. I live in the large spaces in my mind and in a town I don't know you well enough to tell you. *lol I have been writing for a very long time and on several occasions I have been called the female Jack Kerouac. I am a lesbian and have been for a while now. I am a dog lover and an art lover. In real-life, I am an artist and a hair stylist. I hope to get to know you all and I hope this will be a beautiful friendship! Love to all, Daina
