Introduction

I've always appreciated the memories of my past, and for some reason, I seem to appreciate the happy moments better when I look back at them. I had a good childhood, it had it's ups and downs as all childhoods do, but all in all it was filled with many delightful times. I have been homeschooled all my life, and have no regrets whatsoever. Sure, public school allows you to get out and visit with friends every day, but then again, so does homeschool. The only difference is that you are able to carefully select your company and when and where you'd like to get out. I'm perfectly content being at home all day, and though I admit that I do look forward to getting out, even if it just be to go to the local library, I still can't find myself to cave-in and attend public school.
My life is quite simple really, I was raised and live in Colorado, Springs, where the colossal purplish-blue mountains can be seen, and the snow falls so heavily. I don't live on a farm, nor in an apartment, just a simple "home", close to stores and other businesses for our convenience. I'd always been a day-dreamy and hopeless romantic sort, always playing blissful scenarios in my head. I am also a very devout writer, and upon asking myself why I like to write, I have realized that it's sort of an escape for me. It's somewhat like an airplane, for me, that leads me to different lands, where I am provoked to solve my character's dilemmas for them. Also, considering that I love art, I think of writing as an art... it's like painting a picture. For example; I paint a writing picture when I describe the beautiful world surrounding my characters. Besides writing and drawing, I also love to act. I enjoy acting, because it allows me to become anyone I please. I also like acting because I've always wanted to leave an impact on people, and make them really feel the story, as if it were happening to them. Therefore I find acting to be the perfect way to try to reach my goal, and either cause people to laugh or cry, whatever my character's story may be. Now, that you know me better, I hope that this has enabled you to understand and relate to my future posts.
