Hearts And Souls Speak Aloud


In an attempt to give my readers the best possible impression of me in bit of a more intimate setting, I've written up this "About Me", if you will, which completely and entirely explains me best while in the element that I'm most passionate about. Every last sentence is from my heart and soul, each word is strategically placed in order to get every last word out right. I hope this gives you a clear sense as to what goes on in this swirling head of mine. Laugh. Cry. Enjoy. 

An icon of my own defiant personal style, there is something genius to me about a girl, all dolled up in an outfit you've probably rummaged right past on a rack in your favorite vintage shop. The way she wears her clothes as an art, not so much as being careful about what she wears, but how she wears it. Hip, effortless, and right, and the job is done. I rightfully believe that you're either born with a sense of style, or you're not. You either care, or you don't. Fashion has always been in my blood, since the ripe age of six. It's compelling to see the power of an outfit. Whether you're looking back at pictures from when you were younger; receiving inspiration from it, or when you receive the sweetest compliment on an outfit that you barely strategically put together before going out for the day. My trick is to be aware of trends and style, but don't make an attempt at it. That's when heads turn. I've tortured countless designer, one of a kind pieces, and things I've made with my own two hands, to fit me to a T. And I think I've done pretty well for myself. My goal? Possessing basic luxuries. Educated garments. Everything you wear, everything you buy, you have to make it your own. Otherwise, you're just like the rest of them. Fashion is the way my elusive self expresses who I am. Fashion is an art. And I do consider myself an artist. Beauty isn't something that's perfect. Beauty isn't something that's new and shiny. Beauty can be a chair in your house that's worn down to the stuffing. Beauty may not be something that's on the inside, it's simply what you define as beautiful. Let no one's opinion change that vision. My love for fashion is all I'll ever do. God bless my soul if I'm one day living on the streets, still dressed to kill, because I know the right things to pick off the racks at GoodWill. The world we live in is full of sharp-elbowed maneuvering. There's no way to push your way through, just live, being you. Eventually, you'll find yourself on top. On YOUR top. Let no one's opinion of what's ethic, right, just, or socially acceptable readjust your standards. Don't let anything affect your choices, just see a clear road ahead. And follow it
Life is good when everything is possible. 

I've been listening to His Name Shall Breathe every single night when I crawl into bed with a desperate attempt to sleep. Midway through Track three, I'm out until my alarm goes off. So, on that note. You know where to find me.
