As a teacher and person in general, I want to live by peace and teach it. We are not born to be mean and unhappy people, we are born to show no fear and to love ourselves and one another.

My cats are my best friends and have helped me so much (I know thats crazy to hear but it is true) they have helped my depression and made me a happier person. Writing has also helped me a lot. Aromatherapy, veganism, and nature has changed my life. I love nourishing my body with clean foods that were grown and not born. I enjoy exploring and going to different places. I love music because it can take away all of my thoughts. Many books i have read, like the four agreements, have changed my life for the better. I am excited to continue learning more and to spread positivity everywhere i go.

I think what makes me special is my smile. I am always smiling even when there is no reason to. A smile could make someone's day. I truly care about others and I hope to make changes in the world. If anyone needs any advice or just someone to talk to, I am ALWAYS here.

I value my friends. They are probably the best thing that has ever happened to me and I am beyond thankful to have such an awesome group of people in my life. They have inspired me in so many ways. They have shown me how to be strong and to do what makes ME happy. They are my biggest motivators in life. I value my family as well because without them, I don't know where I would be right now. They have protected me and helped me make smart(ish) decisions in my life. I am a major believe in animal rights. I am vegan and I am a strong activist when it comes to it. I believe that all animals have the right to live and they are my passion. I truly love ALL animals and would never wish any harm upon them and wish others would see life the same way. I have come to realize how intelligent chickens, cows, pigs, and other animals are and how terribly they are abused and killed. Because of my lifestyle, not only have I become more in touch with myself but I also have become more in touch with nature and animals. I see the world is slowly dying and I want to help change that. My behavior comes from myself and NOT from my family. My family is racist, closed minded, and extremely judgmental. Although they mean well, they have showed me the type of person that I do not want to be. I accept everyone and I aspire to help people. I want to make people happy and I encourage self love and acceptance. No living thing, human or animal, should feel that they are unimportant.

P.s. all of the food in my pictures is made from plants :-)

I was raised as a Catholic. My grandmother is a strong believer and attends church every Sunday. When I was younger, I would go with her but I stopped as I got older. I went to Catholic School since i was 5 years old. However, it brought me further away from my belief and faith in the Catholic religion. I believe that there is something higher than us but I do not believe that we have to attend church and read the bible to be a perfect person. I believe that the universe is listening to us. If we put out good into the world then good will come back to us. I believe in the power of spiritual healing with Reiki and crystals. I am very different from my family in this way. I was never really like them at all and have very different beliefs. As far as holidays and traditions go, we celebrate Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving.

I am Polish, Irish, and German. My great grandmother came from Germany. However, the majority of my family are big Irish freaks who love beer and walk in the St. Patricks Day parade every year!

I was born in North East Philadelphia into a home with my 6 aunts and uncles and my grandparents. We lived there for about 6 years till we moved to Lansdale. Since then, my life became hectic and crazy. I was living with my three cousins, my 2 aunts, my uncle, my grandparents, my mom, and my brother. My family was extremely close and happy until we lost some family members, including my mom. Growing up was not easy for me but I got through each day. Since I finished high school, I moved 4 times and am now in Manayunk.
