thirty thangs [eight]

8. What are 5 passions you have? 

1. music. 
      i absolutely love music. i feel like i could listen to it, especially my favorites, all day long. for reals. even when i'm sleeping! it helps me get through so much. if i'm happy, i can find a song for it. if i'm sad, i can find a song that helps me get through. if i'm mad - there's a hidden stash of gangsta rap in my arsenal to make me feel better. love it all :)

2. family.
    this one is an obvious one, i'm sure. my family means the world to me and i would do anything for them. if they hurt, i hurt. so don't mess with them!

3. friendships.
    i feel like everyone is passionate about friends, but i don't think i always was - even if i said it. my friends mean so much to me and without them, i don't know how i would have gotten through so many things. i realize how important it is to have friends that you can go to when things aren't great. i hope they all know how important they are to me!

4. food!
    fatty ;) but i absolutely love a good meal. i love it even more when i cook it and other people tell me how great it is. i love making people happy with something i've made. i mean, after all, the way to anyone's heart is through their mouth, right? or is it belly? whatev .. you know what i mean!

5. moving out of this state.
    don't get me totally wrong, maryland isn't awful - but i don't want to plant my forever roots here. i would like my kids to grow up in a better place ... a warmer place ... a prettier place. i am very passionate about getting out of here, and sooner rather than later!
