some true facts about me.
I knew that relationships this summer would be redefined. I thought a few of them would end, a few would strengthen, and a few would manifest themselves in different ways. But this is not what I had in mind. It seems that the people I thought knew me really haven't the faintest idea of who I am.
So for them, and anyone else, here are some true facts about me (partially inspired by Nicolette).
1. I am not as secure or confident as I let on.
2. My real best friend and I have not spoken in six months...Sp really, I don't have a best friend.
3. I have a four foot tall Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal on the floor of my closet. When I am sad or lonely, sometimes he sleeps on my bed.
