25 things

1. I can’t eat ANYTHING without spilling.
2. I have hated the taste of milk ever since I was a kid.
3. I procrastinate terribly.
4. I have an amazing memory for song lyrics.
5. I am a really fast reader.
6. I have had pets (mostly cats) in my family for as long as I can remember.
7. I had never ridden on a plane until I was 14 and went to Washington D.C. with my school.
8. I love to eat lemon slices straight.
9. I say “like” a lot. I feel it makes me sound less intelligent than I am but I can’t help it!
10. I am very particular about the types of pens I use.
11. I love notebooks! I have about 14 blank ones right now, just waiting to be filled, and yet when I see a cute one, I want to buy it!
12. I love children’s books! It’s my new love language.
13. I love stuffed animals and can’t have enough even now that I’m an adult.
14. I am a proud Aunt. I see my 2 nephews and 2 nieces at least once a week.
15. I have been questioning God’s purpose for my life since I was 14. Now that I am 23, I’m still not sure what it is.
16. I love reading books that transport me to another world.
17. I am an idealist, striving for peace, equality, freedom, and love. At the same time, I am quite pessimistic, knowing that most of these things are hard if not impossible to achieve.
18. I love to be outdoors, though I don’t get to often enough.
19. I LOVE word games!
20. When I was a kid, after I would watch a movie, and then for weeks pretend I was the protagonist in the movie. I still do that now, only in my mind.
21. I like trying to find the perfect gift for someone and then surprising them with it.
22. I wish we could do church they way they did in Acts- simple faith, sharing with one another, loving others, and worshiping Jesus in everything we do.
23. I have a terrible sense of direction.
24. I process things with my heart much more than my head.
25. This list has been surprisingly hard to compile.
