Bio: Hey everybody! I'm Lindsey. I love music, learning, the outdoors, running, philosophy, people...oh yeah, and I have a twin sister. I am a very curious and hardworking person and love learning about different cultures, religions, ways of life, what have you. Archaeology and poetry are fascinating to me. I basically live in a book store whenever I can get to one and especially love reading about interesting philosophical, wellness and science type subjects. I love learning and creativity, I doodle everywhere and draw crazy patterns. I definitely have a variety of interests which I believe is reflected in my writing! Individuality is important, and I believe the only way for a person to discover their true potential in anything is to delve deep inside. Reaching that wisdom so often neglected combined with doses of reality is the balance that is super essential in life for reaching the stars. That's what writing allows, in my opinion.

Suspended, distant melodies Swaying like birds with shoe-button eyes Off into the foreign pewter skies. A faint breeze stirs and scatters The light leaves while a shrewdly widow Dances out from the shadow. Humming a tune she gazed at the Moon with nothing but mischievous intent. Competing now with the renewal of sounds From nature, mystical and quaint She surrended in tears of joy, yet fears For angels were near--murmuring Every meter and rhyme.
