Arlington, Virginia

So I know she forgives me, just as I forgive her. Thomas Edison&#039;s last words were: &quot;It&#039;s very beautiful over there.&quot; I don&#039;t know where there is, but I believe it&#039;s somewhere, and I hope it&#039;s beautiful.<br /> --John Green, Looking for Alaska

who i am is not in the definition of ur beliefs<br /> i have every right to keep my head held high and regonize <br /> my beauty both mentally and physically..<br /> you dont define me<br /> you&#039;ve never been webster and you will never be god.<br /> i am a complex being and<br /> my true beauty lies in my state of mind.<br /> physically, i can be all that<br /> but i want ur eyes to see my mind,<br /> your ears to hear my thoughts<br /> and regonize my knowledge<br /> i am poetry...<br /> feel the words that slips off my lips<br /> the emotion that drips off my ink<br /> embrace the aura in every syllable that is written.<br /> Now watch me bring my emotions into your imagination.<br /> it is who i am, i am poetry.

Favorite Quote:
“i want to apologize to all the women i have called beautiful<br /> before i’ve called them intelligent or brave<br /> i am sorry i made it sound as though<br /> something as simple as what you’re born with<br /> is all you have to be proud of<br /> when you have broken mountains with your wit <br /> from now on i will say things like<br /> you are resilient, or you are extraordinary<br /> not because i don’t think you’re beautiful<br /> but because i need you to know<br /> you are more than that” <br /> ― rupi kaur

Favorite Quote:
&quot;&#039;At a certain part in your life. Probably when too much of it has gone by. You will open your eyes and see yourself for who you are. Especially for everything that made you so different from all the awful normals. And you will say to yourself, &quot;But I am this person.&quot; And in that statement, that correction, there will be a kind of love.&#039; - Phoebe In Wonderland
