"If you're lucky enough to be different, never change." -Taylor Swift

Hello! So..some stuff about me:

Age: I'm seventeen.

Grade: I'm a senior. Class of 2013! :)

Gender: Female.

Location: United States of America.

I’m a different person in many ways, but I’m also simple. I’m the kind of girl who likes watching the sunset and smelling the roses and noticing how beautiful life is. I listen to slow country love songs before I go to sleep and read fantasy books about teenage wizards in England. I love little kids and wish that I could still be one. I wish people would still take the time to write letters to each other. I play soccer. I am actually a pretty good artist; my favorite things to draw are dresses and flowers. I really wish I had the courage to sing in front of crowds, but so far the shower head is my only audience. I want to be a writer because I think it’s a powerful way to express yourself, and I feel so at home with a pen in my hands. I’m thankful for my family and my friends that I really cannot live without. God has really blessed me, and I try not to forget that.

Of course, I wouldn't even be on this awesome site if I didn't like to read, and I love a little bit of everything when it comes to books. Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Maximum Ride, Divergent, Princess Diaries, Wings, etc. etc...the list goes on and on!

Life:

-I just played my last season of high school soccer...ever. It's so crazy to think about. But, of course, it's not over! I'm still playing club soccer and whatnot. Because...as we all know here...soccerislife. :)

-I have a very busy life. Updates often come few and far between, and I'm trying to work on it. But I'm a perfectionist when it comes to writing; it takes me longer to write something if I want it to be good. I love you all for being so patient, butttt I would understand if you didn't like me for it. Haha.

Projects In-Progress:

-A crossover between Maximum Ride and Percy Jackson, in which Max is a demigod at Camp Half-Blood and runs into some interesting circumstances that may affect how the whole Titan war ends up.

-A Maximum Ride story in which Max loses her memory, thus, her whole life.

Okay, so this is a little something I wrote when I was in 8th grade and really starting to get into my writing. I figured I would post it on here. So, enjoy, I guess. haha.

-Eventually, by soccerislife14

“You know what I think? I think eventually there comes a time in your life where you really start to care about other people more than yourself. You determine what matters most and what doesn’t at all, even though, at one time, it meant the world to you. You find out who your true friends are, and who never really were. You see God everyday, and eventually, you start to recognize him, whether it’s through your eyes or through your heart. You know that what’s inside you will always going to be more important than what is on the outside. Always. And that people who talk badly about you are cowards for not talking to your face and you stand taller to yourself if you eventually just let it go. You know that the people who really matter don’t mind you, and the people who mind don’t matter. You know that, someday, you’re going to reach your dream, and be something great, and all the hardships you’ve faced will be worth it in the end. That’s what I think.”

Sorry for all of the long waits for my stories right now. I just want you to know that the times that I update vary greatly, depending on what's going on in my life and if I'm in the mood to write. My stories have not been forgotten, I promise. Even if I haven't updated alot, I still get on fanfiction regularly and freewrite basically every night. PM's brighten my day, and ideas are always welcome; they may even get me inspired to write something- you never know with me.

I love you. You rock. Peace and love, -Soccerislife14
