Hi 🙂

           Not the most interesting picture, I know. Serena Vishala Sooklall. My mother once read a book in which the main characters name was Serena. She thought it was a beautiful name, originating from the word Serenity meaning peace or tranquility. I’d like to think she named me accordingly but once you get to know me, you’d realize it simply isn’t true. No, I’m not obnoxiously loud but I’m not one to hold my breath if I have something to say. I was born on October 15th, 1994 making me a Libra which is represented by the scale of justice or simply “the balance.” This holds to be true in my eyes seeing as I’m generally the tie breaker or the one to make decisions, generally what I feel are just ones.

          Jamaica, Queens has always been and always will be my home. I love New York City, the concrete Jungle, the city that never sleeps. I love telling people where I come from because I always have a sense of pride when I talk about my city, everyone wants to know all about the Big Apple. I love the diversity of the people, the different cultures food and experiences to be found. I love the music and sound of general city life. I love my friends, almost as much as I love my family. Dancing, is my passion. I generally have a positive outlook on things. I like surrounding myself with happy people and good auras. I’m not a whiner and even if I don’t like it, I generally get the job done, whatever the job may be. I believe in few things but the things that I do believe in I keep close to me. I strongly dislike  people who don’t practice what they preach, then again who am I to judge?

I like to think I’m a simple girl, with a simple life who makes simple decisions in a simple world with other simple people. This, simply isn’t true. I’m a complex human being just like everyone else. I have irrational thoughts and I make irrational decisions. I like ears, specifically cold ones. I hate oatmeal. I cry every single time I see Titanic and change the channel every time an ASPCA commercial comes on because it’s too sad. I have a hard time saying no to people. I believe in giving people second chances, even third and fourth ones. I don’t care for religion or politics. I know the world is a corrupt place but I choose to have faith in people in an unjust world. I don’t believe in resorting to violence I’m more of a increase the peace type of woman. Hippie style, minus the clothing and drugs. I tell people things for their own good despite the fact that they may not like to hear it. I tend to hurt peoples feelings, but with good intentions in mind. I love to give, more than I love to take. I love to share. I love to love. All in all, I live and let live.
