I was born on November 11th, I hear that makes me a Scorpio.
I don’t really know what that means. I’m 5'2,I don’t know how to swim & I’m a sucker for a girl with a nice smile, soft voice & clean sneakers.
I’m still learning how to whisper,
I’m often loud in places where I should be quiet & I’m often quiet in places where I should be loud.
I was born feet first & I’ve been backwards ever since.
I’ve been told that I give really bad hugs.
People say that it feels like I’m trying to escape.
Sometimes it’s because I am & secretly I get really nervous Every time someone gets close enough to hear me breathe.
I have this odd fascination with things like sand castles & ice sculptures.
I assume it’s cause I usually find myself dedicating time to things That will only last a few moments,
I tend to fall in love with women Who have no potential.
See relationships, they often remind me that I’m not afraid of heights or falling But I’m scared of what’s going to happen the moment that my body hits the ground.
I’m also clumsy.
Yesterday, I tripped over my self-esteem, I landed on my pride & it shattered like an iPhone with a broken face..
Now I can’t even tell who’s trying to give me a compliment.
I’ve never been in the military, but I have this Purple Heart.
I got it from beating myself up over things I can’t fix.
I have solar-powered confidence
&
A battery operated smile.
