Anxiety

The Science of Sleep, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Girl with a Pearl Earring, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Sleepy Hollow, Amelie... There are more, I'm sure.
I love movies.

Fantasy by Charles DeLint, art books, historical fiction, and anything that's a great adventure with characters you become attached to! :) Most of the time I read for pleasure, but on occasion self help books and other non fiction can make it onto my good book list. Some that have really helped me in my life are:
"The Highly Sensitive Person"
"Diagonally Parked in a Parallel Universe"
"Spiritual Outsider"
"The Anxiety Workbook"

Give em a try!

Honestly, I'm still kinda figuring out who I am. But I know what matters to me.

I love animals and have sought solace in the outdoors and nature for as far back as I can remember.

Art and books have helped me find peace of mind throughout the years. I make art and I try to write. Art school has brought me a great deal of self-understanding, that's for sure. It would be nice to help people, somehow, hopefully.


My family means everything to me. I feel blessed to have them, although my "religion" is something that is still quite mysterious. There are certain ideas and feelings I have impenetrable faith in. But no matter what I always come up with more questions than answers. :)

I have dealt with social anxiety, ocd, panic disorder and depression for around 12 years, but I am recently discovering that being me is actually alright.

I want to try and focus on all the good aspects of the world, myself and others if I can.

I've been labeled "shy" more times than I can count, but I try to be kind and welcoming! If you want to talk, just drop me a line. :)

when people you don't know yell out of car windows, startling you when you're on your bike! very annoying.

Being a nerd. :P

Drawing, painting, printmaking, gardening, yoga, reading, bike riding, hiking...

Learning things about plants and animals. Also mind boggling stuff about the universe, ancient history, mythology, art that tells a story, fairy tales, the wonders of the brain, self improvement and spirituality

Writing stories, illustrating them and imagining that someday I will get published :)
