If you really knew me...


If you really knew me

You would know that I almost always have a book on me, I love reading. When I am reading a suspenseful part in a book, I cant take it. I have to know whats going to happen, so I flip to the back of the book and read the last chapter. I know ridiculous, but I cant stop myself, I have to know that everything will be ok. 

If you really knew me

You would know that I'm more likely to crack a joke or tell a funny story then to share something that I hold close to my heart. It takes me a little while to share that part of myself with people, but I do enjoy those intimate conversations most, I feel they bond you together in a powerful way that makes any kind of relationship stronger.
 
If you really knew me
 
You would know that I hold family in a special place in my heart. I feel that it is the most precious bond between people. I love hearing family stories over and over again, even if they're not about my family. People will tell me all about their kids and life growing up and funny stories and I soak it all in because I find something so beautiful in their words.

If you really knew me

You would know that fall is my favorite season, I thrive in fall. As the temperature drops and the earth releases new smells, its as if a different part of me comes to life. I love the smell of apples and cinnamon and the feel of a soft scarf laced around my neck. I drink hot tea and strew fall decorations about the house, Welcoming the change in season.

If you really knew me

You would know that I dont like people to see me cry. I dont like them to see me hurting, these are the real tears I'm talking about because I cry a lot. I cry at commercials and movies and for other people when their hurting. I dont care when people see those, I mean the ones that are riddled with pain. The ones that cause your body to shake and for you to gasp for air from the pain in your chest, those are the tears that I like no one to see.

If you really knew me

You would know that I'm glad I shared a little vulnerability with you today.
