Being me.

I like long walks on the beach at sunset. I like driving around for hours with absolutely no destination in mind. I look for the things in life that no one else sees. I'm extremely observant and aware of my surroundings. I love concerts. I get really excited about Starbucks and Mexican food. Girly TV shows are part of my outlet. I like apartments more than houses. I actually like to argue, and I'm good at it. I like coach purses, and it's the only thing I will spend that amount of money on. I like washing my car. I am a Ford truck kind of girl. I love that moment when two people make up after not talking for years. I love seeing people reunite. Long walks in the park are really relaxing to me. Facebook Pinterest and Instagram are an odd obsession for me. I love being with my friends. My family means more to me than anything. Being an aunt is something that absolutely completed my heart. I believe in God and church is important to me. I have a best friend who is absolutely my soul mate. I like receiving flowers, especially sunflowers. I don't like excuses. I absolutely hate being interrupted. I'm extremely sensitive and the worst thing you can do is lie to me. I love acting ridiculously silly. Singing is my passion, and photography is so special to me because I get to see things other people miss while looking through that lens. I am obsessed with photos. It takes a lot for me to be bitter. I want to be a mom more than anything else. I believe in love at first sight; I experienced it with my nephew. I love the smell of the rain. I love gloomy days where there is nothing better to do but watch tv. I will not judge your situation because I am not in it. I like knowing everything, but I keep people's secrets close to my heart. Disneyland is the best way to get to my heart. I love the way pandora always seems to know what to play for me. I love my Dodgers and hold them very close to my heart - the emotions I feel when watching them play probably sound ridiculous to the average person. I have a crazy amount of insecurities both emotionally and physically. I don't care to know both sides to every story; I'd rather stay out of the nonsense. I stress easily, and do not handle chaos well. But with that being said, I myself, am chaos. I try to be supportive in everything my family and friends do. I am extremely blunt and honest. I do however have a filter. I love having fun. The little dumb jokes crack me up, especially yo mama jokes. I can't rap worth crap, but I do it anyway. I find myself to feel so gangster at times and then I have to laugh at myself because I am completely white. I have a problem with being told what to do. I am very prideful and stubborn. My dad has always called me a chili pepper because I have a crazy Mexican temper. I don't get embarrassed easily. When I love someone, I love them with all that is in me. 

There are so many characteristics and things that I have about me that I wouldn't change for the world. I have learned that it is okay to be me no matter what people say or want. And that in a relationship you should never have to change yourself or sacrifice who you are for the ease of someone's mind. 

I'm simply Erin, and it's so nice to say that I'm finally happy with being just that. Being me. And after all my mistakes and failures, I believe in myself, the person that I am, and the decisions that I make. What a beautiful mess I'm in.
