Hi! I'm Brooke

 

I've always been a dreamer, and to be perfectly honest, it's a whirlwind of thoughts up in my head. Anything you've thought about, I've probably thought about it 20x more.

Growing up as the quiet kid, I was often recognized for my kindness, depth, and affinity for butterflies. Sure, every little girl loves butterflies. But I LOVE butterflies. In fact, my first tattoo was of a Blue Clipper butterfly, drawn by one of my best friends.

Throughout my growth as an individual, I've recognized that butterflies aren't just a favorite of young girls—they're muses for how life should be lived. I hope to emulate the freedom and fluidity that butterflies possess in my own life, and do as much good as I can for others.

 

Change, movement and existence.
