hello.

I'm so happy you stumbled upon my blog. My name is Erin, I'm 20 years old and I am from Colorado. I'm usually doing something crafty whether that be drawing, baking, sewing, or plotting ways to take over the world. Music has always played a huge part in my life, and it always will. Basically, I blog whatever I want. There really is no theme; if I think something is funny, cute or if it inspires me somehow, most likely it will end up here.

There is darkness inside all of us...we all have it—that part of our soul that is irreparably damaged by the very trials and tribulations of life. We are what we are because of it, or perhaps in spite of it. Some use it as a shield to hide behind, others as an excuse to do unconscionable things. But, truly, the darkness is simply a piece of the whole, neither good nor evil unless you make it so. #dark #bootifulphotochallenge15

In addition to a cash tip, @xtheothergirl and I also gave our delivery driver this. We are so thoughtful.

It's both a blessing And a curse To feel everything So very deeply

It's 90 degrees. So, Kool Aid.

When in doubt, run it out.

We mustache you a question, but we will shave it for later. #overusedpuns #friendship (at John Galt Coffee Co.)
