About me

Gender Female
Location Chicago
Introduction I'm a 26 year old living in Chicago. I work in special education, and am considering a new career path in psychology. I am moved by nature, colors, and silence. I appreciate all forms of music. I am an adventure seeker at heart and get a thrill out of trying new things. I do not believe in failure or defeat. I think the human spirit is the most remarkable and resilient thing around. I can find beauty in anything, and find the darkest days are the most incredible. I truly believe that life is a journey that we have both absolute, and no control over. I believe that each of us has a path that we will follow and we will all eventually end up exactly where we were supposed to be. I am healing from a 16 year struggle with an eating disorder and childhood abuse. I do not believe in recovery anymore, which I know is quite odd, but rather healing. I do not believe that I am a flawed person trying to recover from that flaw, but a hurt person trying to heal from that pain. I believe that we all have an innate strength that makes us beautiful and worthy just as we are. I believe in and appreciate the journey, and all of its exhilarating twists and turns.
