I'm 5 feet flat. Yes, I'm small... but I have a very big heart. I'm portugease. My family is very important to me, I love them to death. My Mom is my hero, my Dad has shown me nothing, and my Sisters are my best friends. My main beliefs in life are that you must always have goals and dreams, and that you should never let anyone get in the way of something you wish to achieve. Anything you want is possible if you go about it in the right way. I try to portray and express that inner beauty is far more important than physical appearance. Every day I see people who are very dissatisfied with their appearance, who lack confidence and self esteem and it saddens me. I do not believe that I need to be touched up or "perfected" to look beautiful. Society has destroyed the image of beauty in my mind. I believe that everyone is beautiful and unique in their own way, and I try to see the light in each individual person. I believe in fate, and the fact that everything happens for a reason. I will always look for the good in every situation, no matter how bad things get. I don't regret anything, because everything I have ever done in my life got me to where I am today... and I am genuinally happy with who I have become. I am a very hard worker and very independant. Respect, Trust, and Honesty are very important things to me. I try to be as real as I can, and that is all that I expect in return. I don't judge people. Instead, I choose to give everyone a fair chance to show me who they are. I will always like you and give you the benefit of the doubt, unless you prove me wrong. It is very hard to get on my bad side. If you do, well then... good luck. I know that I have made my own set of mistakes in life, therefore I try to be as patient as I can with others. However, I have been hurt way too many times in life to believe in second chances. I value myself way too much to allow anyone to continuously hurt me. I am a firm believer that the struggles make you stronger, and I learn from every situation that life throws my way. I am a very confident person, and I don't let people bring me down. Love me or hate me, I'm still gonna shine. Your hatred will only fuel me to want to achieve even more with my life. I hate drama and bullshit, so please do not bring that my way. Come real and come hard, or don't come at all. I know sometimes I can be hard to handle, but if you cant handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best. Some view the fact that I have morals, beliefs, and values as intimidating... I like to call it inspiring. Other people think I'm sarcastic, I just tell it how it is. Either way, if you have taken the time to read this I have respect for you and I thank you. I am who I am, I love who I am, and I'm not about to change that for the satisfaction of anyone other than God.
