I'm just a twenty one year old girl who loves too much, hopes endlessly, and writes to bring people a sense of acceptance in our crazy world that can sometimes be difficult. I write to bring a sense of comfort when you least expect it, kindness when you feel no one else has given it to you, and above all; hope. Along with being an aspiring writer, I'm a songwriting major and hope that one day my songs can change lives too.
