More About Me

What I want you to know about me...

I live for quotes. Writing is my stress reliever. I play the piano occasionally, sing, and watch college and elite gymnastics. I have been published three times through the America Library of Poetry's contest compilation: Accolades (2014) with Closer to the Sky, Eloquence (2015) with A Touch of Infinity, and Accomplished (2016) with Sanity. I am a biochemical/validation engineer, passionate, easily entertained, a little bit insane, & left handed, which I have mixed feelings about because it is unique but also terribly inconvenient. I love citrus fruits, sunsets, and squirrels (as you may have guessed). PostPoems is as old as me.

We are all composers learning how to sight-read eternity. ~Johnny MacRae
I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship. ~Louisa May Alcott
We are all a little weird, and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love. ~Dr. Seuss
Genius is more often found in a cracked pot than in a whole one. ~E.B. White

She had fallen in love so many times that she began to suspect she was not falling in love at all, but doing something much more ordinary. ~Jonathan Safran Foer
You are not the first person I looked at with a mouthful of forevers. We have both lived with lips more scar tissue than skin. ~Clementine von Radics
Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. ~John Green
Are those the only options? Nothing or forever? ~Sarah Dessen
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. ~Douglas Adams
