Things That Make Me Great

I giggle when I'm nervous, I can see the funny side. I care about the universe and opinions, I will not hide. I love to make people laugh and I drag them up to dance, I'm a bit silly when I've had a drink and if you're sober you don't stand a chance. I'm poor now that I've quit my job but I refuse to sell my soul. I don't need another person to make my half feel like a whole. I get excited when there's glitter and music makes me smile, I sometimes laugh at funerals - that was an issue for a while. I do what I can for who I can and I know sometimes I snap but I do my best and that's okay because I'd take none of it back. I fall in love pretty quickly - Like, within the first few seconds because I see the good in everyone I confuse love with good first impressions. I will confess I cry a lot but I'm not afraid to show it because even though I might be soft, I'd rather cry than you not know it. I've slept in way too many fields and woken up in some strange places, but I always meet somebody new and make new familiar faces. I like to play the 80s loud even though it makes you cringe, I'm a fantastic cook when I want to be but the microwave usually wins. I want to learn to hula hoop, to do yoga and play guitar but I like so many different things that I don't usually get that far. I'll stay up all night with you to talk about your day, I will never say the things you fear and I will never walk away. Although there's a lot that I don't like about the things I do, I list the things that make me great in the hopes that you will, too.
