All The Things I've Never Said Before - Part 6

"Well," I say, then pause to think for a moment.

"I guess I love the feeling of summer wind in my hair, but I also love the crisp breezes of fall. I have a soft spot for dogs and books. I love to sing, and I also love to listen to music. I'm on my phone way too much. I could live in running shorts, but I also love cute dresses."

"I'm shy and quiet until you get to know me. Once I know you, I never shut up. I trust way too easily, and it screws me over a lot. I'm usually pretty happy, but sometimes I get sad and I will want someone to cheer me up, but typically nobody does. I've never really had a best friend because everyone I considered left me in the end. I have a hard time really opening up to people. And when I love, I love hard."
