I've always been labeled as "the quiet one". A label I grew to hate so much. To me, being quiet was a bad thing. People made it sound like if you were quiet by nature, you were somehow not as great as the ones who were the life of the party.

Relationships aren't like in the movies. The world isn't always rose tinted, you're not constantly laughing while feeding each other spoonfuls of ice cream, and you're certainly not fighting over who's the cutest. But what do I know, right?

In which case, don't eat this). I woke up ridiculously early this morning and couldn't go back to sleep no matter how many tosses and turns I attempted....Read More
