has never really been my thing. My clothes sit funny, and frump in all of the wrong places. I'm short, and kinda chubby. My body is so disproportionate, I won't even go there. I have freckles painted all over, cursing me to be forever fair skinned. I'll look away, and pretend to be in deep thought. Or I'll act like I suddenly have something I'm absorbed in, on my ****** phone. I run my hands through my snarly, blonde hair - even though it looks just fine. Yes, I'm that person who coughs, just so that I'm doing something if I don't feel quite right. I'm sure you can decipher the difference between my real laugh and the fake. At times though, this is null and void. It's those days, that i love the most. Rare, but rewarding. Standing tall, I'll smile at strangers. Looking in the mirror is fun, and taking pictures - isn't torture. Laughter eases out of me, and I shout. Sometimes I get really ballsy, and I'll tell you if I think you're cute just because I can. Flirting is easier and not something I worry about. Confidence is all about the m  i  n  d   s  e  t  .
