Stephanie. I’m the one on the right ^

Barely anyone uses my full name.

I live in Melbourne, Australia.

I’m 18, though in some ways I feel so very much older, and then in other ways I feel younger.

God has saved my life in more ways than one, and every day I wake up to a fresh start, a fresh chance, and another day for me to love and glorify God.

I’m in love with music and the beauty it creates, illuminates and inspires. I can’t play an instrument yet (I plan to learn in this coming year) but I can sing well enough to carry a tune.

I write things sometimes, whenever inspiration strikes. I like words, whether they’re written by my or someone else. Give me a real book over an ebook reader any day. I adore books. Besides, ebook readers don’t smell like books. 

I’m a bit of an introvert. That doesn’t mean I don’t like people. On the contrary, I like people a lot! I just find certain people tiring, and am not a huge fan of parties or large gatherings that involve mostly people I don’t know. I value meaningful conversation, not meaningless small talk that leads no where. Here, read this article. I’m about 5-10% more extroverted than this article is describing, but still.

I have a cat named Sammy and a fish named Henry and I’m mentioning them here purely because they get mentioned in my blog and I sometimes tend to forget to mention that they’re animals.

I believe we live in a broken and hurting world. I may need a job, yes, but if I’m going to need to do something like earn money for the rest of my life, I’m going to make sure I make a difference with my time. I could never work a desk job as a career, I want to be out and I want to be helping.

I believe that art is expression, regardless of if it makes sense. You don’t have to like it, you don’t have to enjoy looking at it (or listening to it or reading it, art comes in many forms), but it is art. Not everything that everyone expresses is going to be something you agree with, you have your own likes, opinions and tastes, so it makes sense that you may not like some art.

I love to talk to people, so you really should say hi, seeing as you’re here!

I hope you have a wonderful day :)
