My name is Marissa and I have a collection of good memories and at least an equal number of terrible ones. I hang a dreamcatcher in every room to remind myself to think bigger and I revel in the beautiful and lovely.  I program, read, drink tea, and search for answers. I enjoy collages and strawberries and decide to cry at least once a week.  Chocolate runs through my blood and I enjoy wearing clothing that flows with sleeves that drape.  I sense the connections between people and their feelings as easily as the weather and I cherish every real friendship I have.  I am currently in love.  I spend my days thinking of the world beyond myself and playing with the colors and sounds I experience.  My hair is my life force and I prefer to be barefoot. I hope to know the world before I die.

My passions will tell you more about me than any words:

Black cats, leather-bound journals, smoke, florence and the machine, motivational words, dreamcatchers, animal cuteness, makeup, synesthesia, floating polar bears, berries, messy desks, bunnies, natural, swimming, birdcages, dip dyed hair, mbti, favorites.
