My name is Hannah, I reside in the Windy City, I am a student of writing, art, music, God, people and life (more specifically, I am a journalism major with a photography minor). I am a summertime person with a long cold winter ahead of me in a new place surrounded by new people... so we'll see how it goes.
I have thought a lot about what defines me since moving away from home and I have yet to come to a conclusion. In the past I have sometimes resorted to measuring myself by the relationships I have with the people around me, and usually that doesn't work out so well for me. These days there are only a few people that I consider to be really influential parts of my life; moving away from home has definitely made me reconsider what's important in a relationship and made me value those people that have stuck around more than anything. A lot of people have ulterior motives or have other things going on with no time or need for a relationship, which ends up being just one of those things that you can't do anything about, but in the end it still hurts all the same.
ANYWAY, more importantly-- I know I want to create beautiful things and be able to show people how beautiful God made the world despite all the ugliness and hate we see everyday. I wish that I made myself spend more time doing the things I love to do and getting better at them, but life gets in the way most days.
I can't wait until I "grow up" and can speak for myself through my own mediums about what's really important to me. I'd love to work for some great publication like National Geographic or Rolling Stone or NPR and capture real people with stories to tell and great words to tell them with.
That's about all for now.
