**update 5/29/19-- unfortunately due to some personal issues i had to take a much needed hiatus from 2017-2019 to get my life and health back in order. My single 1 rating is due to being unable to finish a swap because of personal mental health issues. I have tried reaching out to the partner but have not heard back from them as of yet. I am ready to get back into swapping!! If you have any questions please just ask.

I am 27 and a WVU student in the graphic design program. A lot has happened in my life within the last 2 years I was away from this site. I am trying to take it day by day, and will stay in contact with all partners if something were to come up. I am hoping not to have any issues but just in case.

One of the things I love but not as much as school is pen-paling. I love writing letters and coming home to letters. So if you ever want to be pen pals just send me and email and we can arrange something.

If you happen to have Instagram (IG) follow me @trace_love I take pictures of live and what I love doing.

I am a very proud Wiccan/Pagan, please do not judge me on that, I don't judge you so please share the same respect and don't judge me. With this please do not send me anything religious unless I ask for it or it is pagan/wiccan related.

I am also vegan. If I join a swap for food outside of groups (which I rarely do) please do not send me anything with animal product it in. This also means that I tend to not use products that have animal products in them.Please do not think this makes me a hippie strange artsy indie kid. Because I am not that.

My favorite director of all time in Tim Burton, which is great since my favorite movie of all time is Nightmare before Christmas.

I love to read fiction mostly, anything by Chuck Palahnuik. Some of my all time favorite books is The Harry Potter series! I am a proud Hufflepuff!!

For those that do swaps with me i just want to say thank you, for taking the time out of your busy lives and doing a little something for someone else. I know personally it gets a little hard to find a little time for myself. I look forward to swapping with you! :)
