I am 24 and still haven't figured out anything about me...I figure the statement "The more I learn, the less I know" stands true. With that said, I truly am continuing to learn. And learning isn't all that bad.

I am a little bit of everything and nothing all wrapped together making one big cliche! I love lots and rage lots...can be insightful and dull. I am a survivor who sometimes forgets what it means to survive...but through it all- I am Me!
