Bonjour! My name is Carolyn. Life started on November 6 and before I blinked, I was in eighth grade. In between that time, the people who always stuck with me were the "fam" (family). They are my everything, my necessity. My mother is an artist; a warm, loving artist that is my best friend. As an appraiser, my father started his own business and although busy, he is the goofiest, most wonderful person. I have learned so much from him and hearing his life's stories have taught me so much, and made me respect him not only as a father, but also as a person. My bro is in high school. He plays golf like you wouldn't believe. It is not just a sport to him. Oh no! He nearly lives at the course. During summer, he played from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Sometimes I wonder how he lives a life with such a mellow game as his focus, but I guess I would only understand that if I were standing in his shoes. Only he can feel that appreciation for the sport.
I believe firmly in family above all things, but my beliefs extend into other areas and philosophies. I believe strongly in freedom of speech, free hugs, smiling, no judgment, worshiping your body with nutrition, and being true to one's self. Freedom is why we are here. To live is the greatest gift we could possibly possess. Yes, I do believe resolutely in my religion, Catholicism, but I think that establishing my own personal beliefs has led me to understand myself on a higher level. I dig psychology, philosophies, and contemplations. My whole life is not spent thinking, but I respect my mind and observe and attempt to understand the minds of others.
My life does not merely consist of healthy lifestyles and the status of my mind, but my hobbies and interests are abundant and I try to include only positive aspects and allow good energy into my life. Theater, dance, and singing are what I believe I was meant to do. Among writing or basketball come performing. In a sense, this is the love of my life. I love an audience, pretending to be someone else. Hiding behind mysterious lines and just living in someone else's shoes, can I learn anything from this process of living another life? I am anything but shy, and love to be open and honest with myself and not hiding behind closed doors or sweep anything under the rug. Honesty is key, and by performing, I am staying true to what makes me at home.
Writing has dug me out of the deepest ditches and almost healed my life. It is my mind spilled out on paper with a fancy exterior. I figure myself out through words and thoughts, and among other things, this has helped me face my own realities and live life, while loving it.
This is me. Not all, but something about me. Love to you all!
