Who I Am

I am myself.

I am a girl who loves rainy days and who eagerly checks the weather each morning in the winter. I'm a girl who loves TV shows like Grey's Anatomy but at the same time doesn't mind watching cheesy Hallmark love stories. I make a wish whenever I glance at the clock at 11:11. I once spent an entire week the summer after 7th grade trying to get highlights in my hair with lemon juice.

I watched my first horror movie, on YouTube, at 1:00 in the morning in a school night. Most of my knowledge of the human anatomy stems from giggling over medical books in the library with friends. My favorite memory is driving up to the mountains to cut down a Christmas tree with my dad.

I hate that homework takes me much longer than it should. I cringe and even cry over bad test grades. I used to be the star English student but since entering high school, it's been my worst subject.

I care too much about what others think about me. I used to let my taste in music, my style, and who I am be affected by what my peers thought was 'cool'. Not anymore.

I don't like popularity. I try not be affected by it. It makes me uncomfortable when someone is left out, ignored, because they don't 'fit in'.

I hate telling others how I really feel about them. I'm scared of being the person no one wants to be with. I believe it's much better to tell a white lie to keep someone in blissful ignorance than to rip off the bandaid and hurt their feelings. I change opinions way more than I should, but I can't help it.

I instantly feel happier after making someone smile, even I'm not smiling myself. I always laugh at the wrong things...I make people around me think I'm poking fun at them even when I'm not.

This is who I am.
