I am..a contradiction


I am

a hard-working procrastinator

who wants everything done right now

but I can always do it later

 

I am

a mature child

who will sit down and have opinionated conversations

but will watch cartoons every chance I get

 

I am

an uncreative author

who will stare at a blank page for hours on end

but will fill pages and pages with flowing words

 

I am

a tom-boy princess

who will wear sweatpants and t-shirts everyday

but will jump in a beautiful dress right away

 

I am

a fearless paranoid mess

who will watch every horror movie I can

but need a light to protect me from the creatures of the night

 

I am

an outgoing shy girl

who wants to go on adventures and talk to everything

but will be terrified to make new friends

 

I am

wacky, weird, fun

serious, calm, quiet

 

I am

all of these contradictions and more

because they are what make me, me
