The world around us is overwhelming.

The simple ways? Sights, sounds, smells, feelings, tastes - the senses.

Take it a little bit deeper though and the world around us can be cruel, beautiful, cold, kind or any number of appropriate adjectives.

If somebody perceives all of this on a regular basis for what it is, then they are bound to feel the weight of it all at some point.

When I feel this way I sing, paint, cry, sleep, BUT primarily I write. Then when I'm done I step back and decipher what it is I am feeling or thinking.

Processing.

On to the nitty gritty for you nosy folks.

My name is Hannelore. I am currently a working college student. On the side I play gigs to make a little extra cash and pursue my passion for music. On any given day that I'm not working or studying you'll find me at Barnes n Noble picking out a new book, or at Guitar Center checking out gear I can't afford, you'll find me baking treats to make life a little sweeter for my friends or working on a new song.

Or. If I'm feeling lazy you won't find me because I'm wrapped up in a fluffy comforter binge watching Netflix.

I am a collector of foreign languages, books, stray animals, puzzles, songs, paintings, wine, mugs and laughs.

I am an open book. Ask me anything and you'll receive an honest answer.

The truth is I'm addicted to words. I love Prose because nothing excites me more than getting a glimpse into somebody else's mind or heart.

So thanks for being enablers and feeding my mind.
