who i am

i’ve heard it all.

“take more risks”

“be more social”

“get out of your comfort zone”

i take risks.

i dared to love

a sweet boy

despite everything

and fell

wholeheartedly.

i am social.

i have soul-intertwined friends

that always check if my jeans are stained due to an early period.

always.

i am out of my comfort zone.

living is not a comfort.

every day, i put effort

to simply talk and breathe and function.

you may see me as the shy, smart girl

who only studies and is too serious.

i am serious and i do study.

but i'll only ever be that much to you because

you simply don’t know me.
