"You are so young, so much before all beginning, and I would like to beg you to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now,
because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." -Rainer Maria Rilke

+ About Me

I’m Alyssa. I’m twenty years old. I read my horoscope daily but I don’t believe in it. I have a list of things I like, a list of things I dislike, a list of things I want to do before I die but these lists don’t actually exist. There are many times a day that I actually have to remind myself what is real and what is reality because I truly live in my own world. It’s easy to float away but I wish it was easier to run away. I’m probably neurotic-talk to me and figure it out for yourself-however, my major is Psychology and I’m starting to figure other people out…everyone but myself. I love the smell of all books. Old ones, new ones, textbooks. The first thing I do with a book is smell it. I drown myself in music. I only use one type of writing utensil, a black fine point ink pen, and I’ve used that kind since I was a junior in high school. Daisies are my favorite flower; I don’t care if that’s cliche. I’ve always wanted to be a writer but a teacher I had killed that dream and made me realize I could never make a profession out of it because I’m actually not good at it. I wish I could be an artist and live in Europe and walk around with paint on my hands and not wear any shoes. I want to ride an elephant before I die. I get inspired easily and I love the feeling of inspiration. I wish I didn’t think as much as I do. I like talking to strangers. I want to have the ability to change someone’s life positively- I just want to leave an impact on at least one human being.

If you’re curious as to what I look like, you can see these Photos of Me, as long as you’re nice.

If you’d like to get to know me better than anyone I know in real life, you may read my Internet Diary. My internet diary is a place where my random rambles and rants are recorded along with long paragraphs of the innermost thoughts all jumbled in my mind. 

Now that I’ve written nonsense, you are a saint if you actually read the whole thing. I’m sorry if it wasted your time. 

Oh, and I am obsessed with glitter and anything that sparkles. 

personal belief: life is too short to spend time matching and folding socks.
