I’m always willing to listen to any type of music for the most part, just not classical. I really enjoy various forms of art and have recently tried to give painting a try, although I’m not very good. I have 11 tattoos as of now, too. I’ve honestly never truly grown out of my emo phase and will still sink back into my old playlist any time I want to feel 14 again. I also have two cats which I love and hate depending on the day. This is sort of all over the place, so I apologize. :)
