Alright so hi, I'm Gracie. 

I, like all of you in one sense or another, am an aspiring writer. It's my dream job to write books that inspire others to take risks, take chances, and follow their own dreams. I'm young, but that means I have so much time to improve upon my writing. I feel my opportunities are endless, similar to everyone else. And also like everyone else, I need to find those opportunities and seize them, nurture them, cherish them. They are my life line….

Not that I'd die without them. Not physically, anyway. You see, I believe that there is a difference between surviving and living. Surviving is the beating of your heart, the breaths that make your lungs swell, the blood pulsing through your veins. Survival is a beautiful thing, but when compared to living, it's nothing. Living is reacting and following your heart, finding meaning in every breath you take, feeling the blood course through you when you reach certain moments in life. Living is closing your eyes and listening to the music of the world, letting it envelop you. Living is the journey of the discovery. The discovery of yourself. Living is the chase to save moments, hold on to memories, find love, and understanding others around you. Living is more than surviving. Living is thriving.

So that's a little bit about my opinion….this ended up a little bit longer than I intended it to be, so I apologize. Hopefully you enjoy my stories. Comment what you think, even if it's negative. Constructive criticism is what will build me up. 

Thanks
