Hi, I'm Sarah! I'm 23 years old and just graduated with an AAS in early childhood education. I just found a job in St. Louis, MO. I hope to continue my education if possible. I am equal parts sweet and deadly. I usually can't decide between something pink & sparkly and something totally bizarre and morbid.

I have a daughter, Lily, who is 4 years old. She's growing up to be totally weird and amazing.

I hate routine and love my freedom. I use art to ward of my demons and strengthen my self-esteem. I haven't got a clue as to who I am or who I'll become. I have a skewed and dark perspective of the world a lot of the time. I love to read and look through the window of another person's life. I will give you the benefit of the doubt, especially if you ask for it.
