My name is Arianna. I like tofu, short walks on the beach and being the first to laugh at my own jokes. Hell, sometimes the only one to laugh.

My life lies somewhere between debilitating grief and immaculate joy. Always striving for the joy end of the spectrum, often failing to reach it.

I am a secretary by day and a singer-songwriter by night. I prefer my night job. It's the only one that feeds my soul.

Sometimes at my desk during work hours this overwhelming emotion washes over me. A feeling that hurts deep inside my chest. No, not heart attack symptoms. My heart is fine. Physically fine, anyway.

But hearts are funny things. The only way I know how to exist is by following mine, yet it hasn't always led me in the right direction. Even the misadventures have been interesting, though. Let me tell you all about it. The good and the bad. And everything between the lines.
