i have spent many months mulling over what my first blog post should be. i was hoping to have some kind of epiphany, some profound, inspirational event in my life to occur. something that i could write about that would grab people's attention.

so there i was, waiting. and one day, working in my mom's embroidery shop, i realized exactly what i needed to write about.

living is one of the most profound things us humans have the chance to do. whether you're a multi-millionaire or begging for some change outside the movie theater, the most important thing you can do is take one more breath.

now i'm just a 16 year old girl that has lived her entire life in the same suburban town in southern California. i'm no grandmother willow, but Pocahontas is my favorite princess.

i'm exploring new things all the time. at any given moment, i can change everything about myself. and that is what living is all about. so i hope you'll join me in my not so glamorous journey of taking life one step at a time.
