And I consider myself quite pragmatic and disciplined. A true Virgo. I study Accounting in college, I can sometimes be blunt, and I am attracted to intellect. This biological make-up also means that I find comfort in looking ahead and and planning my life. Mapping out my future has always been a major priority (I have kept an updated planner since the 7th grade) and have created a life for myself that has always been very structured.

Throughout the years, I’ve created life lists which included getting married young and following the social rules I grew up with. BUT, what I wasn’t anticipating was that one day I would wake up and realize that my 5-year picture-perfect plan wasn’t actually how I wanted to live my life!

I started to realize that these things I had on my list had a lot to do with what people around me were doing and less to do with what I wanted. I felt inhibited by the culture I was surrounded by. I became determined to figure out who I was.

So, stated simply, I started making choices that are best for me. I started listening to my heart as much as I had always listened to that left side of my beautiful brain. I moved on my own to San Francisco (on my own I might add) and my life has changed ever since. This is where my story begins!
