I have a deep rooted fear about "losing control" in public.
I am sometimes short tempered and impatient.
I am clumsy, and have zero balance.
I am easily amused, too talkative, too friendly, and too easily hurt/wounded.

I am a Daddy's Girl.

And..
I love my family completely.

I am guilty of taking things personally, taking them to heart, and unable to forget them.
I am the owner of a perpetually ill/painful stomach.
I am often suffering from depression or anxiety.
I am guilty of not wanting to talk to anyone or even step foot out-of-doors when I'm depressed.
I am often socially awkward.


I am a book nerd, a U2topian, and a Whovian.
I am the object of ridicule to a lot of people because most things I do are outside "the norm".
I am impressed by good writing, and admire the vision of artists in their work.
I am a collector of whimsical artsy things that catch my eye.
I am fond of plants, though I am terrible at growing them.
I like collecting pretty rocks and shells.



I love candles, potpourri, scented oils and incense, and always have some burning.
I am often sad, feel misunderstood, and wonder why I am even here.
I am very devout in my love for God, even though I know I totally suck and am never going to measure up.

I am never going to get things right.  
I am my own worst critic.

I dream of living anonymously, miles away from anyone else.
I dream of having my own secret garden to get lost in.

I dream of having more babies, and having a huge family.  (impossible, but still)
I dream of being self-sufficient.
I dream of being strong, un-afraid, and capable.
I dream of the grandchildren that hopefully the Lord will bless me with one day.

    1. Awww!!! You are such a wonderful friend to me too, Sue. I sure wish we didn't live half a world apart. I just know we'd be close friends if we lived near each other. :) Even half a world away, you inspire me, and help me grow. I love you!! ♥
