"Shaping Me"

If someone were to tell me to describe myself, I wouldn’t be able to tell them in just a few words, it would be...

Car trips, laughter, sunshine, and hiking

Growing up listening to classic rock, falling in love with music

Being with friends, going to movies, going on dates

The first kiss, the first boyfriend, first love

Heartache, sadness, and tears when it’s over

Feeling lost, scared, and alone

Taking time to learn about myself, my passions, my dreams

Being more open, creative, goofy without a care

New opportunities, putting into motion the life I want to live

Finding new things to talk about, being passionate

Creating opinions, thoughts, ideas that crafted what I envision my world to be

Traveling, long plane rides, rushes of excitement when you explore a new place

Long nights filled with no sleep, excessive studying, but having it all pay off

Coffee, coffee, coffee (that one is important)

Laughter, realizing that it is okay to laugh, even in the worst of times

Developing a hunger for travel, to explore, to take more pictures

Taking the little things, and appreciating them

All of my experiences, all of my small moments in life, is what has shaped me into the person I am today, and that is never ending.
