Once Upon A Time


Two things strike me when I think hard about people:
First, everyone is writing their own story. 
Second, even in someone else's story, we're part of the cast.

I'm Riley- forever dubbed "the creative one."

I'm a writer, a crafter, a doodler of nifty drawings. I'm an every-day-explorer, a reader, a student forever. I'm a skilled hot glue gun-wielder. I'm a recorder of things big and small. I'm an in-home taste-tester, and a firm believer that nothing is ever as it first seems.

I collect bugs and rocks and pretty church dresses. I sometimes judge books by their covers, and I love to read fairytales. My mom says I'm wanderlust, and my friends say I'm crazy, but in a good way.  My hair's curly, and that's the way I like it. Occasionally I'll take coffee with my creamer, but only on special occasions.

And my story started out like everybody else's, but I'm working my hardest to make it extraordinary in all the best ways. 

-Riley
