About me

Gender Female
Occupation Student/Lifeguard/AMC's Slave
Location Good ol' Fontana, California, United States
Introduction I'm peculiar. I'm blessed. I'm nosy. I'm kind. I'm distant. I'm friendly. I like things to be fried....But in all seriousness, I'm Grace. And I do like things to be fried. Overall, I love life. Sometimes it gets you down, sometimes it picks you up. But life simply is. Nothing is as beautiful and ugly as humanity itself. It's hard being optimistic in a world that needs so much mending. But life is as is, and nothing is without hope. It's a voyage. In that perspective, I've set sail. I'm learning new things every day. Things I had never given much thought to, things I didn't even know existed. To me, this is exciting. To me, this is doing something with my life. Learning, growing, becoming a better person. I never want to stop. And I'm never going to. Thomas Fuller said, "If it were not for hopes, the heart would break." That's the only thing that keeps me going. I have a plan for my life, one in which I desperately want to achieve. One that includes self-sacrifice and selfish wants. One that will test my theory on goodness and personal happiness to see if the two go hand-in-hand. I can only hope I succeed.

You've been invited to a fancy ball but the only thing you have to wear is an orange wooly jumper. What shoes do you wear?

You gotta wear Uggs.
