Me

Once upon a time...

there was me.
Or I guess I'm still here, so there IS me. 
Wow. Bad grammar, but who cares?
Not I.

               Anyway, as I have already established, I am me. Hi, I am Nimbus Zest. Actually, I'm not, but for the time being, I am. That pretty much sums up the essence of Nimbus Zest. I'm not incredibly unique, ridiculously talented, or dramatic. 

I just am. 

I am a normal person who hopes for the best but prepares for the worst. I jam out to show tunes and late 90's music in the car. I am the one who is always doing something dorky in pictures. I am a student who can't wait to graduate and discover my future. I dream. A lot. I dream about the past. I dream about the present. I dream about the future. I dream about goats.

I am a Southerner. No, not one of those people who live in the South West. I mean the classy South. Obviously, I'm talking about Virginia. Apart from the beautiful trees, my family's 44 acre farm, and my friends, one of my favorite things about Virginia is the accents. Accents make life exciting. I wish I had an accent, but my parents tried to avoid having kids with "strange" Southern accents. Bummer. Now, I live in a land where acres of forests barely exist and mountains replace them. Though I must admit, the traveling aspect of moving was exciting. My "first name," Nimbus, comes from the Nimbus 2000 broom from Harry Potter. I want an enchanted broom that could allow me to experience the world. Obviously, I am a avid traveler.

One day, I will travel the world. I will live in London and soak in the land of fabulous accents, double-decker buses, history, AND Harry Potter sites. I will be one of those dorky tourists who takes a picture of myself trying to get through Platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross Station. But eventually, I want to be more than a tourist. I want to be stroll the streets of London as though I'd lived there all my life. I want to write. I want to be inspired.
