foreward/forewarned

Who was she? What did she do?  She was herself. She did it all.

I have found throughout the last four years of my life, I have experienced more than the average human. Love, hate, revulsion, compassion, intrigue, they have all come to me through many graces. Boys and friends have always been here and there and I believe these instances from the last four years have shaped me into the subtly awkward girl that I am. I have written this memoir in order to justify my world. The life I have led is based on one personal conviction- I refuse to be boring.

Four years to now, I have answered that decree.

My life has had its spouts of ups and downs, ins and outs, and what-have-you. I want to be remembered and what I want out of life is the absolute refusal of any aspect of my life to be considered typical. Being ordinary arouses no curiosity. No appeal. No motivation. I will be remembered throughout my life, among people, places, events, thoughts, and letters! There is no defining moment that has made me into the woman that I am, none at the beginning or at the end. Who I am comes from a collection of moments in the middle. These moments are anything but ordinary; more so unusual- these moments are ones to remember, to empathize with, to feel saddened, frustrated, or happiness. My life is filled with interesting, but useless facts.
