It’s interesting... Someone asked me just a little while back a question I laughed off. She asked, “How are you still single?” I responded with, “Because I am simply just too much.” My biggest flaw, if I were asked, would be that I care too much. I care if the person I like is hurting. I care if she is crying. I care if she is having a bad day and I will do whatever I can think of to restore a smile. It’s worth it to me to see her smile. I’ve gone to great lengths before, such as, while a girl I was seeing was in a mental hospital (no, really, and it was her choice, she checked in herself. I was so proud), I cleaned her entire apartment just so she would have a clean and safe place to come home to. Too much? She appreciated it. But for me to ask her to choose between our future dreams together or an abusive “friend” that had blatantly disrespected both of us? Apparently, I was asking too much.

No soy el tipo de chica que ves en las revistas, con rostro perfecto y cuerpo perfecto, nunca he sido nadie excepto yo, pero puedo doblar tus expectativas, vivir para cumplir cualquier fantasía, si lo que soy es lo que necesitas.

No pienses que puedes cambiar lo que hay dentro de mi, hacerme lo que tu quieras que sea, no seré alguien que no soy, ni alguien más. Así que Ámame con todas mis imperfecciones, no por un reflejo de tu diseño, Ámame por lo que ves en mi interior.
