To put it simply:
I am a being of love.
And I wish to share my love with you.
Question me, engage me. Let's discuss, share, exchange. Nothing is off limits, and everything is possible. ♥
More about me as a person:
My name is Rosie, and I am 24-years-old. Raised in a very large and loving family, I was fortunate to always be surrounded by warmth and laughter. After four years of university, I graduated with an Undergraduate degree in Education. My dream was always to teach preschool. For the last three years, however, my career has been postponed. And perhaps it is gone forever. The reason being, I also face health challenges: I was born with a genetic lung disease, Cystic Fibrosis (CF). And after graduating, my lungs began to decline.
I am now on the list for a double-lung transplant. And every day is beautiful.
I have known for over a year that this was my fate. And I have had many dark moments because of it. But through the darkness, one thing has always helped me to rise above.
Love.
And now, though my health is just as unstable and my fate more uncertain every day, my spirit and heart is stronger than ever. I feel love in the faces of my family, friends, and strangers. I feel love in the wind and the trees and the setting sun. I feel love in the grass beneath my feet and the sound of my nephews' laughs and the touch of my loved one's hand. I feel love in everything. Especially the brief moments that I share with new beautiful strangers. Every hello, every smile, could change the course of someone's day. And I thrive on those everyday beauties.
Aside from being a Peaceful Warrior fighting the battle for my life, I am also a lover of the arts. I'm a poet, a filmmaker, a cook, a beginning painter, graffiti artist, amateur photographer, a musician, and a designer of recycled-paper greeting cards. I love creating, and I love being able to infuse my emotions and love into my work.
Most of all, I love to love. Let me share the love I have with you. ♥
