Favorite Quote:
I&#039;m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can&#039;t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don&#039;t deserve me at my best.&quot; <br /> &mdash; Marilyn Monroe

You ask me why I write,
And I answer with a smile.
Because I want you to know.
You ask “Know what?”
And I answer I want you to know everything.
Everything you question? That’s a lot you say.
And I answer with pages,
Ink filled pages,
And those pages hold everything.
Everything I ever cried, laughed, and dreamed about.
It’s there, its everything.
And that’s why I write,
Because I want you to know.
