My name


Thalia


A girl in a meadow watching the flowers blossom and grow.
She brings delight everywhere she goes.
I try to find myself laughter is my muse.
Thalia she was the Greek muse of comedy.
Light and joy and love are what she wants to bring.
Her passion is to help others.
My friends call me a buffoon at times I don’t mind at all though.
Thalia is an extrovert in everything she does.
I’m never rambunctious at times I might be silly.
My name to me means light to shine bright in the darkness.
I was named after a famous singer.
I want to be surrounded by the smell of sweet flowers and laughter.
My heart is like a music box playing a wonderful melody.
To me my name means smile no matter what to be an example to others.
My name is not a label to me it’s a meaning a characteristic of the person I reflects.

  21. Very good job Thalia! We're you by chance named after the Spanish singer Thalia, who sung "a Quine le importa?". It's one of my favorites. Hmm. It's a head scratcher. Well done on your expressive voice!
