Hi, I'm Lily. I'm currently 18 years young, and hail from CT. I was born on February 5th. I'm eclectic, and I don't really make sense all the time, but I'm okay with that. I trust too many people I've learned, yet haven't made an effort to change that. I'm a swimmer, a buble-aholic, a reader, an english junkie, a gleek, a musical geek, a wizard, an animal lover, and really just an easy going person. I stress about the little things, which I'm working on, but hey, what can you do? I have no idea where I want to go with my life, besides the fact that I want to go to college and do something with English/Humanities. I love my family and friends, and am on the journey to figuring out my life. Let's see where it takes me.

"… but it is the nature of stars to cross, and never was Shakespeare more wrong than when he had Cassius note, ‘The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves.’ Easy enough to say when you’re a a Roman nobleman (or Shakespeare!), but there is no shortage of faults to be found amid our stars."
John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

"Maybe the strings break, or maybe our ships sink, or maybe we’re grass—our roots so interdependent that no one is dead as long as someone is still alive. We don’t suffer from a shortage of metaphors, is what I mean. But you have to be careful which metaphor you choose, because it matters. If you choose the strings, then you’re imagining a world in which you can become irreparably broken. If you choose the grass, you’re saying that we are all infinitely interconnected, that we can use these root systems not only to understand one another but to become one another. The metaphors have implications."
Paper Towns by John Green.
