It's worth it to put up a fight...

It has been a solid few months of change pour moi.
I am evolving. I am growing.
I am coming to know myself and it is beautiful.
Allow me to reintroduce myself:


I am Lexi.
I'm an old soul.
I am not an indie rock snob, but it soothes my soul.
I'm an intellectual and deeply in love with language/vocabulary.
My room will forever be perfumed by incense.
I am in the process of quitting smoking. It is a long process.
I am probably "dressed up" by your standards every day.
It is not for you. It is for me.
I have finally summoned the courage to eliminate quite a few people from my life.
I am therefore in search of some new friends,
though I still have plenty and am fully content.
I prefer things to be kept simple,
and when they become complicated, I get easily frustrated.
There is a difference between being "laid back" and being a doormat.
I have been uptight. I have been a doormat. I have been a mixture of both.
I am now laid back.
My true self is spontaneous, untamed, and ridiculous.
It may take some time or alcohol to pull that out of me.
I drink too much coffee and waste too much time.
I don't eat animals, but I am a wonderful cook,
and I would love to cook some animals for you sometime.
I am passionate about every endeavor I take on.
I have recently accepted that I can't save the world.
I am not a slut, far from naive and doe-eyed, and not willing to settle.
Bear that in mind in attempting to date me.
If I seem to be expressing interest in you, then I am.
I'm pretty straightforward with most matters.
If I seem to be upset with you, then I am.
I'm pretty straightforward with most matters.
If you befriend me, there is no need to doubt my loyalty or devotion to you.
It is there, and I will make it known.
I am a social butterfly.
I am a complete loner.
I am both of these, simultaneously.
The duality sometimes clashes and I get restless.
I get restless often. Listless.
I get urges I can't identify frequently.
I get these callings, but to what, I am unsure of.
Occasionally, I stumble upon the right answer.
Above most other qualities, I value loyalty.
I just had all of my hair cut off. Metamorphosis.
I am often hard on myself, but I love myself.
Truly loving myself is a recent development.
I think it can only come with age.
I believe it is essential to be kind and courteous,
and become very bitter when I feel mistreated.
I have big plans. I won't let anything stand in the way of them.
I still sleep with my childhood teddy bear.
I fulfill obligations and keep my word.
I have terrible troubles with insomnia.
I have made my share of mistakes in the past and have finally learned from them.
I'm a fan of physicality, hugs, and touching.
I don't understand people who aren't.
I am attracted to enigmatic people and long to solve their puzzles,
even though deep inside, I know that I never can.
I am inquisitive. I am nosy. I long to know everything.
I want to suss out every individual on the planet.

I am Lexi.
I have changed in many ways.
Let's be friends.
