My name is Samantha. I am 26 years old but I have lived much longer then most people in those years. I have learned that life is what you make of it, and what doesn't kill us truly does make us stronger. I am a survivor and I can overcome any obstacle put in front of me. For a long time I didn't feel this way. I have given up before, on myself and on everything. I am learning that life is much more beautiful, and worth living when you are optimistic about it. Expect the best and it's what you will get. After much turmoil I have decided that it doesn't do me any good to beat myself up, I am a good person. I have a kind heart, I am honest, I am trustworthy, I love with my whole heart, I am beautiful, I am a good friend to have, I know that sometimes you need to love people the most when they deserve it the least, I am not afraid to ask for help, I am not afraid to let myself be loved and to love in return, I am intelligent and I am not afraid to admit it, I am a dreamer but I am realistic, I go after what I want, I give people second chances, I love animals, I enjoy taking care of people, I am independent, I am free-spirited, I laugh with my whole body, I take risks, I take responsibility for my actions, I can admit when I am wrong, I know that forgiveness is like lifting a great weight from your shoulders, I believe in true love and that everyone is worthy of love, I believe that no matter what you have done in the past you can change your life for the better, I know that there is no place in my life for regret and that mistakes can not be unmade, I know that you have to be comfortable in your own skin, I know I am not as successful as I could be but that I still have time to get where I want to be, I believe in leaving the past where it is. Once I was broken, but I am mending myself more everyday, and every experience is one to be learned from.

I am 5'1" and I like being short. I am a libra, I don't sleep much, I like to drink beer, shoot pool, watch sports, play video games,  I adore zombie movies, I like almost all music, I love museums (art, science, history) I love to read and I will read anything, I adore learning and I would go to school for the rest of my life if I could, I collect tinkerbells and elephants, I love children, I love board games, I love the theatre and ballet, I am addicted to my computer, I don't like talking on the phone.

I used to say, "whoever said it is better to have loved and lost never loved anyone as much as I did." Now that I have found love again I can admit I was wrong, there is no greater feeling then love and heartache is worth feeling like this.

I have 2 cats that are like children to me, Shatzi just turned 6 and Anubis will be 3 next June.
