1. I’m very insecure. If my friends don’t call for a while, or I don’t hear from them, I’ll assume they’re mad at me.

2. I met one of my very best friends in the entire world online. (But I have met her in person, and she was who she said she was.)

3. Sometimes, as a friend of mine once so eloquently put it, “I feel as though I just want to scream and scream it all out, and run around like a madwoman, but I can’t. So instead I just scream in my head, and lay there as though I was lifeless, and it’s eating me inside a little more each day.”

4. I like my alone time. A lot. In fact, I have a strange, deeply rooted but completely illogical fear of almost all other people.

5. There’s a secret I’ve never told anyone. And it scares me. A lot.
