Rattle This

It's true that I am often an open-book. It would be difficult for me to be anything different, but this sometimes gives people the impression that they know more about me than they really do. It's easy to take the sum of my mannerisms and things I say and decide that I am like this or like that. Please allow me to set the record straight.

I am completely and utterly complex.

I feel shy and insecure in certain environments, but do not make the mistake of thinking that insecurity is one-dimensional. It's situational, sure... but I'm not defined by that. I'm much more.

I'm strong.

I stand up for people when they can't or won't stand up for themselves.

I put far too much stock in what others think of me… but it doesn't mean that I have a poor opinion of myself. I basically kick ass on a daily.

It's only reasonable that people might have a tough time figuring me out. That's ok. It's hard even for me to understand me all the time. But what I am is an intricate, multi-faceted, not-to-be-underestimated, justice-seeking, fun-having, people-loving girl. And I'm all me all the time and love it.
