Just Being Honest

I have this video that I love on YouTube, it's called "Marcel the Shell with Shoes On". In the first few lines Marcel says that he likes a lot about himself. I, like Marcel, have a lot of things I like about myself and I hate when people don't know those basic things about me. So, world, here ya go.

1) I don't do drama. I haven't for a very long time. It's high school. It's immature. I don't play games or tell lies just to get a rise out of people or see how they'll react. It's not worth it. I like to watch people as time progresses. There is no need to instigate anything because eventually you'll figure out how the person reacts. Or maybe you'll never have too.

2) I like to read. It's made me the person I am, honestly. And people who thinking reading is pointless bother me. I don't think you have to read but I do, so there. Books make me comfortable and make me calm. I don't think I'd be the calm, introspective person I am without them. I also don't think I would be creative person I am. 

3) I handle stress better than most people. I do a million things a day. A lot of people do a lot of things, yes, but you will hardly ever hear me complain because I love everything I do. If I didn't love it, I wouldn't do it. The fact that I sometimes don't sleep or I have to put off eating doesn't bother me because I'm happy doing this, being busy. 

4) I'm scared of love. I've done it and I got hurt. Typical story but it's why I am the way I am. I have walls that I want someone to break down so badly but I'm scared I won't find someone who will take the time or who I will want to let in.

5) I don't rush time. I'm fine where I am in my life. I'm not saying I sit back and don't do anything but I don't want to be grown up. I like being in college at this very moment so I'm making the most of it. And when I graduate and get my first job, I will make the most of that. And when I get married and have my first kid, I will enjoy that. But all in good time.

So there you go. Five things you need to know and now maybe you'll understand me a little better.
