The average person is a collection of stories. You are a complex layer of unsolved mysteries. I just can't figure you out & I think I probably never will. I'm normally very proficient at reading people. Sadly & unfortunately, I can't even begin to understand you at all. You like company. Yet you love being alone. You vanish, appear, disappear & reappear at whim. You drift yet you are constant. I don't know if you know about noir films, but you are such a femme fatale. 
I can't help but think, "Damn, this girl is so dark when she seems so bright."

Borderline Quarter-Life Crisis

This past decade was one of youth & revelry, fueled by effervescent ventures spanning the realms of enlightenment & the bleakest of dusk. This new decade will be greeted with a newfound strength surpassing all that my life has never known before. I have been working diligently all my life for the fruition of this new era. New chapter. ... Every person I have ever loved & known. Every friend made, lost + found again. ... Everything... has been culminating up to this one moment. All my confidence from striking conversations with strangers... has lead up to this interview so that I may not falter & I pray that my words won't waver. I am going into this decade knowing that I am sincerely giving it all that I've got. My father always said that there is no such thing as trying. You either do or you don't. And you might as well do your best. I am.
