I feel most comfortable in uncomfortable situations

My world revolves around music.

I’ve been playing violin since I was eight years old. I can’t remember what life was like before it.

I love everything about coffee. The culture, the science, the taste, everything.

I love working with coffee and one day I hope to own a Coffee Shop.

I’m extremely close with my mother. She knows absolutely everything about me.

I have a giant heart. So big that some it hurts.

Once you’ve gained my respect, I’ll drop everything to help you.

My favorite thing is writing.

My second favorite thing to do is read.

I could easily live in a library.

If they bottled the smell of old books, I would wear it everyday.

I like to cook and bake.

Garlic runs in my veins. Take that, vampires.

Nothing is better than a good high five. It’ll make my day.

I like spontaneity. Plans just ruin all the fun.

I have an aversion to speaking on phones.

I love eye contact.

I like the patterns in peoples eyes and wish I could capture them perfectly.

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie dough is the best ever!

The best experience of my life was backpacking the West Coast.

I hope to go to either India or Bali next.

I’ve met over 500 people this summer.

I adore my roommates. They are the best roommates a girl could ask for.

My favorite author is Chuck Palahniuk. His books are my crack cocaine.

My favorite musician is Andrew Bird. His music is my heroin.

I am a regular of Open Mics; it’s the only time I get to just be me. My ten minutes of uninterrupted violin playing. I feel the most whole then.

When I moved to Seattle I fell in love with Sushi all over again.

I fell in love with Seattle.

I believe in a lot of things. Hence why I’m agnostic.

I never claim to know everything. But I absorb as much knowledge as I can.

It’s so wonderful to transplant yourself to a foreign city and start all over.

I can’t draw well, but I love to doodle with pastels.

Creating things is a slight obsession of mine.

I collect stories. I love them. I want more of them.

I love overcast days like most people love sunny ones.

I’m a ginger kid.

I don’t let much get me down, and when I’m down, I bounce back quick.

I love collecting quotes.

I’m not afraid of death. Not in a pessimistic, I just don’t think I should fear the inevitable.
