About

Leopard and Fur

I’m 21, freckled and a Senior at UNC Chapel Hill.

Now on a more personal level:

I’m a lot to deal with. I’m simultaneously weak and strong. I have withstood much more than I ever thought I could. I have held on to a lot more than I should have. I believe the journey is infinitely more important than the destination. I like to stop and smell the roses along the way and absorb the view at the top. I love meeting new people but I’m pretty quiet at first. It’s mostly a self worth issue. I like to be needed. I am supreme at anticipating needs and fulfilling them before they are even noticed. I am aware that is hard to listen to me but I applaud and appreciate the effort. Some people don’t even give me that. I give my undivided attention to those who speak to me. It’s hard enough to express yourself without being made to feel like a burden. I have conversations with homeless people and strangers when I feel like they need someone to listen. I try to be fair to everyone; you never know what their struggle is. I believe the unexamined life is not worth living. I know that you get what you give.

I want nothing more than to be surrounded by love.

I began this journey after I discovered how much writing is a part of me and my healing process. The posts are just musings; some happy, some sad. My grammar/spelling may not always be correct. I do try and find/fix those errors before I hit publish but that’s not fool-proof. I am human after all.

Fallible as they come.

Thanks for coming around, hope to see you again,
