I am not here to share those letters, but it got me to thinking about who I am. Where I was. Where I am. And who I have become. We spend countless hours creating our online profiles whether it be for social media or online dating and we don't always get a chance to know the heart of the person unless they are a dear friend. And though I straddle the line between sharing vulnerabilities through my blog/journal and keeping other details private, I consider myself to be an open book that grants access to certain chapters. And as I am asked to describe myself often, I have different things that come to mind.
With that being said, here are a few random facts that perhaps you didn't know...
With that being said, here are a few random facts that perhaps you didn't know...
1. I have an overwhelming fear of needles. This is not a secret to those that have walked my cancer journey or have ever known me to have a doctor visit. My fear is so intense, I can't really even talk about it as it makes my arms hurt to just talk about it.
2. My dream has been to be a published author and artist. My mind thinks in chapters and illustrations. Bucket list dreams.
3. I have always wanted to play the tambourine in a band. Perhaps this is due to my lack of musical talent, but I just think it would be rad. Like more cowbell, but with a tambourine.
4. I sleep with the TV on. It has been about 10 years now. I am working on the reasons as to why I do this, but it happens. Sadly, it has interrupted my dreams.
5. My shoe collection is absurd. And well, so is my closet which is equivalent to a boutique of too much.
6. My guilty pleasure besides trashy reality TV is getting my nails done. Nail art is my jam.
7. There was a moment when I was a synchronized swimmer. Get me in a pool and I will show you a few signature moves. It is gold.
8. In college, there was this one time, I fell out of my loft bed. And I thought I was dying from a blood clot as I got a nasty goose egg on my shin. Ask my best friend, Jolie. It is how she became my best friend. Little did she know what she signed up for that night.
9. I used to work in Yosemite. And I would give anything to go back to those days. I love sleeping under stars and being on the water. Being outside is where I find peace.
10. I give to a fault. Especially of my time. It is an area in which I need better boundaries as some prey on it while others ignore what I give. Rarely I come across the few that appreciate it for what it is.
11. I am guilty of screenshotting my sister and my nieces in FaceTime conversations. It is my favorite. Unfortunately, the feeling goes both ways. So embrace that double chin and the bad hair days.
12. I don't travel enough. I need to take time to see more things and more places.
13. I used to want to chop my legs off at my knees as I was self-conscious of my height. I have learned to embrace it, but it takes a confident man to embrace it too.
14. Claustrophobia.
15. Vershas. My nieces. Sure, the word versha is made up, but my nieces are quite real and really the loves of my life besides a puppy.
16. Stella may or may not dress up for holidays. I don't know how she does it.
17. I live and function in lists.
18. I work too much, but it is a place I love with people I adore.
19. I have 100 things I want to do in 1,000 days.
There you have it. For now...
