About

My name is Josie and I'm trying to figure it all out. 
I want to know everything.

I study Psychology and English at University and I have a lot of opinions about a lot of things.  I like spearmint gum, nighttime, feminists, owls, sunscreen, emerald green, and the smell of lemons.  I enjoy learning, thinking, and creating.  I like collaging, altered book making, universe building through words, and using ellipses...  I like books that are a part of a series, moving documentaries, movies that make me feel something intensely, and music that makes me want to tattoo lyrics on my forehead.  I like kayaking alone of crystal clear lakes, hiking through woods with proper shoes, playing tennis in the shade, and having picnics on beaches.  

I don't like small talk, math, summer, elevators, or tomatoes.  I don't like the feeling that radiates off someone being insincere or not completely genuine, though I am a firm believer in sarcasm.  I don't like small towns and I don't like brown houses and I don't like rooms without windows.  I don't enjoy repetition, cliche, or country music.  I don't like grocery stores or plastic bags or canned foods or unmotivated people.

I want to travel to Turkey, publish a book, obtain my doctorate, have a private practice, own an orange cat and name him Napoleon, work with LGBTQIA+ and women, be an activist, get married, own hundreds of books, have at least one room in my house painted purple, eat Life cereal most mornings, and have someone know me as well as I know me.
