Re: Things You Want To Tell Your Body

Dear body, I have to say, as much as I wish you were in a little better shape, you're not bad, and it's my fault I guess. I guess I would just prefer that you make my eyes a little less sensitive, sure it's a great party trick, someone talking about water eyes and you well all up...even as I'm typin...

For me, I would say I'm an introvert with extroverted tendencies. Meaning, I like being around people and I'm great with them, I can easily make most people feel ins...
