Bio
I'm 21, I'm a self-published author and slowly building my platform. I'm all about doing what you love, and following your passion. I like living outside the box, because the inside is too crammed.

Grace
What I'm about to talk about is something that I've been learning lately; grace. When I say grace, I mean the unfair, forgiving when I'm not in the wrong, not wanting to have grudges, irrational, against human nature, forgive and forget kind of grace. For myself, I have a tendency to trust really fast, really easy, and that can open myself up to being hurt, or let down, or anything like that. It's cause of my trust that I've really been learning to be in a state of unfair grace, that if/when I get hurt, I forgive and move on. Holding onto things like grudges, anger, bitterness, to anyone or anything is like a genetic disease, it just keeps getting passed on to the next generation.

Not Just Books
I've already taken the time to talk about my passion; writing books. But, I've also skimmed over a few other things, and I want to fully take the time to talk about everything else I want to do, because there's quite a bit more I want to do. For sure, a hundred percent my passion and albeit aspiring career to be is to be an author, but I also want to do more than that. What I love about writing, and what being a writer offers is that your time is your own. I choose how I want to spend my time, and I choose how much time I want to devote for work hours in a day. Which, let's be honest, we'd all love that.

Rejection and Doubt
When we hear the words "rejection" or "doubt," they are always associated with negativity, sadness, and just all around bad terms. But what if they could be turned around for good? Instead of viewing rejection and doubt as something bad, what if we could see it as something good? I know it's harder than it sounds, cause let's be honest, when we get rejected in any way, like for example; a job, by a woman or a guy, or anything, we get down. Getting told we didn't get the job we wanted makes a person feel like they aren't good enough and shouldn't aim high, or getting rejected by someone we ask out or have interest in makes us feel ugly, humiliated, because we put ourselves out there, and/or again, not good enough. If we get turned down by a person, it can leave a feeling of trying to change ourselves to maybe get that person back. Not getting the job we wanted can make a person give up and not try as hard.
