About Me

Lets be real, if you say you don't like talking about yourself, you're a liar.

I could talk to a wall about myself if it'd give me feedback.

Sigh.

I'm corky.
Super Slightly offensive.
Stubborn as a mule.
Sometimes my dreams seem too big.
I hug. Bring it in.
I eat primal/paleo.
I love crossfit and coffee.
I often like being alone.
I drink too much. Even for a 21 year old.
Cuss like a sailor.
Nutrition is my passion.
I want to change the world of healthcare.
I believe in using nature to heal.
I believe in knowing when things just "feel right."
I'm dark and twisted. Like Meredith Grey.

Whew! Lets take a breath, that was a lot.

I live in a city too small for me, these country folk and I are much different. 

I am a very open minded person, I'll try just about anything once.

I don't know what I want from life, I just know that I haven't found it yet.
I don't have a sense of danger.

I look at a stranger and see a friend.

Are we done being serious yet?

I love to party and be social.

I know I said I like to be alone. Shush.

<- I've woken up like this one too many times.

I hate cats, but I relate to you bro.



*drum roll*

I LOVE CHOCOLATE.

And Spongebob. He likes chocolate too.

Yes, I'm a child.

See? Proof. I'm not even ashamed.

If I'm not thinking about health, nutrition, or school; there's most likely a song playing in my head.

I'm single. Who has time for a boyfriend?
Where are you- what are you doing- what don't you love me- baby forgive me BLAH BLAH BLAH

Boys are just fun to look at. And kiss sometimes. Whatever.

Preach it sister, preach.

I love to be adventurous and do things that get my adrenaline going.

My worst nightmare is living an ordinary life.

I have a wonderful, extremely supportive family.

Both of my parents are remarried, so my family is giant.

I live with my mom, and 6 other people.

I have one sister, 2 step sisters, 4 step brothers, 3 baby nieces, and 2 nephews.

From the left: Grandma, Cousin Gaige, me, sister Faith, my lovely mother.

Here's my goofy dad. :)

I would put pictures up of the whole fam, but it's rare that we're all together. I'd have to start a whole other blog just to show you.

I am a nurse by trade, EMT by passion.

I'm oddly good with people, and I love making people better.

I want to be a Naturopathic/homeopathic doctor, or a clinical nutritionalist.

I think the food we eat is the single most important factor in preventing disease.

How can you make a change? JERF! (Just eat real food)

I'm always up for controversy and learning new things.

I've had many struggles. Fought many demons. Defeated some, also lost to some.
I never judge, and always listen.

My motto? Just let it be.
I created this blog to ground myself. To connect again.

Like I said, Earth to Courtney.

I look forward to sharing my journey with you.
