Getting to Know Me

Today you get to learn a few somethings about this blogger. Some things are well known, somethings aren't.

I am what everyone calls skinny. Though I wish I wasn't. Sure, occasionally it's nice to be a smaller size, but the majority of my life I have hated it. I dislike being told I'm light as a feather, or that I need to put some weight on. I just wanted to be the same size as all the other girls, a normal average weight, not underweight. I tried around 9th grade to eat healthier so that I could weigh more than 99 pounds, amazingly enough, it was difficult to get past that weight, but I did.

I listen to songs that are more often than not, a little sad. These songs are what have gotten me through some really hard times, they helped me calm down and feel understood.

I am probably the most emotional daughter of my parents. Let's just say my tear ducts are functional.

I get easily annoyed at anyone who calls their best friend their twin. No, you two are not twins, you are just best friends. That is all.

I love the sound of rain. It calms me down, also a little thunder added always is a help. Just look up rainy mood.

In romantic movies, I more often resonate with the male character and understand him better. Maybe because the woman always acts before they understand the true situation, and that bothers me.

My favorite places are the places I've never set foot on.

Black and White tells a better story than color ever will.

I used to want to change my name to Rebecca, I don't really know why.

At my first elementary school, I didn't always play during recess. I just talked with the pretty lifeguard, who coincidentally was named Rebecca.

I really appreciate when I can tell when someone listens. They don't interrupt, they don't talk to another person whilst acting like they're listening, they have a response ready for you because they listened. It's a characteristic that I feel is rare in this day and age.

I'm not a college enthusiast. There are better things in the world to worry over or just in general having fun, my definition of fun does not include college.

I've never thought of my epilepsy as a disease. I wouldn't phrase it like that at least. It's just been part of my life since the 1st grade, and I've learned to cope with it. It's something normal, and I do what I need to continue living.

I get frequent headaches, so Ibuprofen is my friend.

I am more self-confident now than when I was younger. I have grown up in a community and family, where I am constantly told how loved I am and important I am. This family of mine is my biggest support system.

I'm so lucky,
Mercedes
