not the girl you forget about, that's who.

I don’t open up easily - heart, legs, or otherwise. I won’t say love if I don’t feel it; I won’t say hate if I can’t take it; and I’ll never elaborate if I have no idea. I’m hardly shy, but I am a very private person. I lack any form of eloquence so it takes me a while to say anything.

I'm that girl who will hold you close if you shed a tear and hug you so tight so you know I'm there for you. You could talk for hours about your problems and I would listen. Then I would tell you things would be okay, and to suck it up - because that's life.

I'm that girl who can place herself in the shoes of a 5 year old and laugh about boogers with you and chase butterflies in Spring and splash in puddles in the rain. The one who loves going to parks and having dainty little picnics.

I'm that girl who still use journals. Who writes her heart on leaf paper. Whose thoughts are nonsensical, but still seemingly important.

I'm that girl you can ask along on a backpacking trip through Europe. I would do it. I'd write in a journal and press scraps of memories inside.

I'm that girl who loves wearing dresses. Who still plays dress-up during sleepovers. Who can slip into an elegant gown, hair perfectly in place. You'll wonder, "Where is she from, she's so elegant!" And I will talk slowly and enunciate every word perfectly. How impressive.

In short, I am a bit of everything. I'm part geek, part snob, part intellectual, part ditz, part dreamer, part realist, part optimistic, part cynical. I have, and always will be that girl.

And you know what? I like the way I am, and I don't want to change. I may be a little full of myself in this respect, but I think I've got a good balance when it comes to my personality. It really doesn't take me any effort to be so awesome, haha. :]
