"Life is not measured by the
number of breaths we take,
but by the number of moments
that take our breath away."

Let me introduce you to this girl, Cheryl. She's very fond of her dog, Amber, has a best friend called Li, and loves to dance. As a child, she was sheltered in a loving family who taught her about God's love, so she grew up a Christian, an idealist and a romantic.

Then one day, the big, wide world came knocking on her door. Enamored of its seeming beauty, she stepped outside the house and wandered off. Along the way, she's loved and lost, been used and been cherished, tasted both success and failure, and basically made a lot of mistakes that taught her how to handle life.

Born on February 7, 1986, she's now 22 and counting. If left alone, she would love nothing more than to curl up in bed with a good book and dive into a world of magic, mystery and true love. But she doesn't want to be alone forever... Somewhere in the world, she believes that there is someone who will see the flaws in her and love her for it. Someone whom she can settle down with, make babies with and grow old with.

One day, she hopes to travel the world... Dive at the Great Barrier Reef, watch turtles crawling in the Galapagos, kayak with the seals in Antartica, and stand in awe atop Mount Sinai. One day...

In the meantime, welcome to her blog.

This is the first day of my life
Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain
Suddenly everything changed
They're spreadin' blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
Think I was blind before I met you
I don't know where I am
I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go
So I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realized that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

I remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange
You said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said,
This is the first day of my life,
Glad I didn't die before I met you
But now I don't care I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy.

So if you wanna be with me
With these things there's no telling
We'll just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery

Besides maybe this time it's different
I mean I really think you'll like me...

The most apt post in the world.
