Erika | Twenty-three | Reborn<br />
<br />

I'm a firm believer that "about me" sections are the worst. I never know what to write here because, hey, I'm only twenty-three and I still have tons to figure out. <br />
<br />
Here is what I do know:<br />
<br />
I am still searching for the true definition of who I am. I am trying to be a little less judgmental and trying to love a little more. Speaking of love, I am terrified of it; this statement is so cliche. In my head, I am this fabulous multi-faceted person, but I am pretty sure that in real life, I'm pretty boring because I haven't figured out how to mold all these fabulous personalities I have into just one. Knowing that, I try to challenge myself; I try to drop my toughest walls and expose my inner self. I don't want to be the "cool girl". I'm me. A puerto rican & irish girl who is 225 pounds and feels both hideous and beautiful. I like anime. I love extra bold dark roast coffee. I love music of almost any kind. I love rainy days, cool nights, and cloudy days. Nature feeds my soul, but on the same hand, I am that asshole throwing empty cups into the ditch from my car window. I smoke cigarettes and I probably eat all the wrong things. I fall in love a little too fast and I love a little too hard. I'm terrified of what people think of me but walk around screaming the opposite. I naively believe money can solve all my problems.<br />
<br />
But you know...<br />
Screw "norms". Screw "cliches". Screw "cool".<br />
<br />
Screw fitting in.<br />
<br />
This is my life and I only get one chance.<br />
So, hey, I'm Erika.<br />
