On A Personal Note...

So, I was planning to give my thoughts on the premier of some TV shows, but I missed the TGIT (Thank God Its Thursday) shows last night-- Grey's Anatomy and How To Get Away With Murder. :( Even as a college senior, homework is still a thing. Anyways, I thought I would take this post to tell you more about myself and how I think. 

First, I guess I should say that I was raised by two loving parents who never told me that I couldn't do anything,  unless i was trying to stick my had on the stove. I grew up in the mountains, so I enjoy spending time outside. I appreciate the art and natural beauty of nature. I think that appreciation extends into other things as well, like music, seemingly crappy movies, technology, and other weird things you wouldn't really think to be artistic and beautiful.

For example, 3D printers. One wouldn't really consider a printer beautiful, but I kind of do. The way that someone came up with the idea, and was able to put it into existence. The way each part moves, has a purpose, and works to be able to do something that wasn't even really thought of. It’s beautiful to me.

And if from this explanation you can’t tell that I’m a bit of a romantic then I will say it: I am a bit of a romantic. I don't even know if I want to get into this because I could go on and on about how much I love reading romance novels, getting lost in the love story of two fictional characters, and how I guess that makes me see things through rose-colored lenses; but I won’t. What I will say is that I don't think I actually see things through rose-colored lenses. I think that I have been through enough things and meet so many different people from all walks of life to know what life is really like and that I shouldn't take an unrealistic positivity to it all.

Out of all of this I hope that you all understand that I do try to see the beauty and art in everything. And in that, it does mean that I do see the ugly side too. I try to walk that fine line, I suppose.
