Cold, But Inviting

I love rivers. They're so free flowing - without a care in the world. Sometimes, I wish I were a river, then I could just live care free. I also the look of rivers, they seem cold, but at the same time warm and inviting. Ever since I was little I've loved walking by rivers, sometimes even taking a dip in them. But the thing that intrigues me most is that you can never see both ends at the same time. That's something I wish people would understand about other people, you can't see someone by their first impression forever, and if you can then you shouldn't. You should give everyone a chance. Even if they seem odd at first they might be really nice. Take me for example: I wear flowy pastel dresses with floral combat boots and have blood-red hair. I gaze back at the river and sigh dreamily. Then I jump.
