Meet Firebird

Firebird. 

A fiery spirit that fights for what its passionate for and soars above the stormy clouds.

The first part of my pen name, fire, is because I like to think of myself as a match, a small spark of fire that has the potential to either do great good or much harm. Fire refines gold, which is like how fiery trials shape us to be the people we are today. As a firebird, I hope to refine the people around me by challenging them to be the best person they can possibly be. I may be small in stature, just one little girl in a big world, but my words and actions can light a fire. A fire can either destroy or create. I want to be the kind that creates and inspires, a beacon of hope that burns brightly amidst the darkness. 

The second part of my pen name, bird, is a symbol of strength to me.

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." (Isaiah 40:31) 

Life is hard. But when I'm exhausted, I can look to my Savior for the will to keep living.

Yeah, I know, I can be deep. Get used to it, because it happens quite often. But I'm not always that philosophical, I promise. I mean, I also chose the name Firebird because I can be quite a sassy firecracker sometimes. 

When I'm not making puns, I shamelessly sing in the shower and dance like nobody's watching. I'm a writer/reader/pianist/actress/singer/wannabe dancer. I love people, music, and Chick-fil-A waffle fries. That's enough of an introduction because it's 11:31pm and I should post this before midnight. (Clearly, I'm also a professional procrastinator.)
