Hi. I’m 20, I’m from Pennsylvania, and from looking at my page you should be able to tell a little bit about me:
- I love nature; breathtaking pictures of landscapes or trees amaze me.
- I’m obsessed with music, and I like a wide-range of genres. I post a song basically every day.
- Writing. I love it. I’ve made a goal (and I’m sticking to it) to make a written post on my blog every week.
- I love cute animals; preferably kittens, puppies, elephants, and giraffes.
- I also love reading and watching movies, and occasionally I share my thoughts on books I’ve read or movies I’ve watched with you guys. Sometimes I just post quotes and gifs.
- I had a long-distance love; if you delve far enough back in my posts you will see a lot of words and pictures about missing him.
I’m keeping track of what books I read. You can find the ones I’ve read in 2012 here. Feel free to ask for my commentary on any of them.
I have another blog where I store some of my favorite writings by other wonderful tumblr people. That can be found here.
Also, if you’ve taken a look at some of my tagged links, you’ll see I’ve got one for all my goals. This is the list in condensed form:
- Be happy, and take note of the little things.
- Showing people that I care, and sharing happiness.
- Banning negativity—the items associated with negative times, as well as negative thoughts.
- Read/Watch/Listen to the news.
- Live every day like you’re dying; accept who you are; live life to the fullest.
