About Me

My photo
Autumn Renae Rays
Orlando, FL, United States
I enjoy life and living. I love the way the sky looks when it's about to rain. I love phone calls. I enjoy writing in library books. It's like everyone- we mark our territory somewhere in this world. I love people, how they enrich my spirit and make me smile and laugh. I do extremely love counter cultures, especially the theatre world of the 18- and early 1900's. I love artistic things, I love to feel fabric, I love feeling beautiful, inside and out. I love to be inspired, I like to lay in the grass and smile up at the wide open sky. I love smiling at people who don't even know me. I love being kind to the people in the check out line. I love reading poetry, and getting lost in the words. I love my life, I love my family. I'm freakishly linked with my little sister, and weirdly close with the rest of my family. I love creating, dancing when no one's watching. I love reading about what's happening in the world, I enjoy feeling like I can make a difference. I like wearing flowers behind my ears, in my hair. I love to blast music, I love music with words that inspire me. I love beaches, I love the sand, I love the wind. I am the wind, try to catch me.
