"Know yourself and you will know the world."​

My name is Melissa and I am a fun, spirited and pleasant person.
I love meeting new people and learning more about different cultures.
Very open and friendly.

I accept everyone as long as they accept me.

Anyone who wants to know more about California.
I've got a lovely boyfriend and am not interested in anything more than friendship. Just getting that out there...

Please leave a note along with friendship requests.
I prefer talking with people who have something to say.
I'm not really good with small talk.
I am nice, though! I promise.

Painting, writing, singing and hiking.
Sir.

I adore just sitting and listening to music at home.

I want to take all of the people that are alone in the world and befriend them.
As long as they aren't just trying to get frisky...

"I'll tell you what real love is. It is blind devotion, unquestionin​g self-humilia​tion, utter submission, trust and belief against yourself and against the whole world, giving up your whole heart and soul to the smiter."​
Great Expectations​

"It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then."
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

"The most important thing I learned on Tralfamadore​ was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist. The Tralfamadori​ans can look at all the different moments just that way we can look at a stretch of the Rocky Mountains, for instance. They can see how permanent all the moments are, and they can look at any moment that interests them. It is just an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever.
When a Tralfamadori​an sees a corpse, all he thinks is that the dead person is in bad condition in the particular moment, but that the same person is just fine in plenty of other moments. Now, when I myself hear that somebody is dead, I simply shrug and say what the Tralfamadori​ans say about dead people, which is 'So it goes.'"​
Slaughterhou​se-Five, Or The Children's Crusade : A Duty-dance with Death

"Neighb​ors bring food with death and flowers with sickness and little things in between.  Boo was our neighbor.  He gave us two soap dolls, a broken watch and chain, a pair of good-luck pennies, and our lives.  But neighbors give in return.  We never put back into the tree what we took out of it: We had given him nothing, and it made me sad."
To Kill a Mockingbird

"I was on par with the Creator of the Universe there in the dark in the cocktail lounge. I shrunk the Universe to a ball exactly one light-year in diameter. I had it explode. I had it disperse itself again.
Ask me a question, any question. How old is the Universe? It is one half-second old, but the half-second has lasted one quintillion years so far. Who created it? Nobody created it. It has always been here."
Breakfast of Champions

"We're not too young for love, just too young for about everything there is that goes with love."
​Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
