I'm 24 years old. I am a medical student, a Christian, a big sister, a daughter, a cousin, a granddaughter. I am a niece, a dancer, a writer, a reader, and a thinker. I am a photographer, sometimes. I am stubborn, insecure, optimistic, selfish, impatient, compassionate, and funny.

I am a night person, a coffee and gum addict, a friend, a girlfriend, a perfectionist, and forever critical of myself. I am an anorexic and a bulimic, in various stages of recovery and relapse; this I have been for the past 8 years. I have also been a waitress, a supermarket employee, a babysitter, a disabled person's aide, a caterer, an ice cream vendor, an airport clinic employee, and broke in between those jobs.
