Ten things that will be my downfall:
1. I’m always going to care, no matter what. I cannot leave you behind if you need me, no matter what you’ve ever done to me.
2. I let people be my happiness. I am happiest when I can help others and when they are happy and when I am surrounded by good people.
3. I am okay with being someone’s second, third, fourth, etc. choice. 
4. I dance to feel loved.
5. I am constantly in a state of wanderlust; I can’t stand to stay in one place for too long at a time. Even if it’s taking a walk to get away from my house, I rarely enjoy days where I stay at home the whole time.
6. I want my world to be about the little things, the morning sunrises and the 2am phone calls and cold coffee and the colour of summer and the feeling of waking up and the way light falls through the trees in the spring and heartbeats and the feeling of grass between my toes and herbal tea at four in the afternoon and waking up at four in the morning just because I can’t sleep. 
7. I love people too easily and don’t stop easily. If you’ve found your way into my heart then you are going to stay there for a really long time, no matter how much you hurt me.
8. I live by the saying that nobody looks back on their lives and remembers the nights they got plenty of sleep. I don’t like to sleep, I like to get things done, making art and helping people or running off to somewhere wonderful.
9. It has been drilled into me since I was little that in order to become a well rounded good person, I have to be exceptional at everything. I was taught to not attempt to become the best at one thing, but to excel at all things. It’s driven me insane, but I don’t know how to stop it. 
10. I get this feeling sometimes, like I am drowning and I can see everyone breathing, and I have to get up and go somewhere, get out, because I am just a small person in an average sized house in a small town in a small state in a large country in a small world in a small solar system in a small galaxy in a great big vast universe, and I see how small and unimportant I am on a scale of everything, and it terrifies me.
