Female

Im Raquel, I dont have any nicknames anymore, Raquel is it. I have 3 sisters, 2 older, 1 younger, and NONE of us are alike or even look alike. My father is from Cuba, and has taught me that nothing is impossible in life no matter what your social standing is, or if someone says you can or cant do something. I went through the normal teenage rebellion thing, and because of the extremes I took it to I ended up in rehab for drug addiction and an eating disorder by the age of 18, voluntarily. That decision impacted my life tremendously.

Fast forward to now- 2008. I got married in 2005, and one tattoo shop, 2 kids, and a couple years of mental abuse later, Im divorced! yyaaayy! As I said, I have two amazing children Dylan Avery and Chloe Delilah. They are my everything. I know that there is something beautiful in me because those two gorgeous children came from my body.

Now, A little run down-
Im a wild child, and I love driving around listening to music really loud singing at the top of my lungs (but you probably wont see it unless im completely comfortable with you). I love singing in general. I love art, I love music, and I love traveling. I want to live out west.

My dorky pleasures are History, Discovery channel, Art Museums, Old Architecture and modern structures. I have a secret obsession with shoes, specifically pumps, Nike dunks and Air force ones.. I clean my house compulsively to clear my head. Im brutally honest, and it pisses people off A LOT. People think im lying when im being honest, and If im angry and I tell you I dont want to talk, you should probably listen. I do still believe in Love despite what I went through and being divorced. I love being with people, but I like having my space too. Im a fixer and a pleaser and I work really hard to make sure other people are happy around me, but I know that I can come first too. Im an AMAZING housewife, i mean really really freaking good. I mother people around me, but its just my way of showing I care. I have a billion and one unreasonable fears, and wicked anxiety that wont let me sleep at night, unless someone is sleeping there with me. I dont eat red meat because the texture bothers me, although ill attempt to when i have a random craving, and then ill vomit less then 24 hrs later. My favorite color is a teal aqua kind of color. I was a veggie for 6 years, and a vegan for 1. I played competitive international field hockey in high school. Ive played 7 different instruments. Im classically trained to be an opera singer. I want to backpack across europe. I want to be a teacher. I hate the sound of lettuce being torn apart, and im allergic to non-organic fresh produce. Ive lost over 100 lbs since last year, and i fully plan on getting plastic surgery no matter what anyone has to say. I have the most AMAZING friends in the world, they have built me up into a strong woman when i was nothing but a broken mess, and I have only them to thank.
