Hello. Goodbye.

 Not many if you know who I am. I'm normally pretty quiet and like to keep to myself.  But if you did you'd know that blue is my favorite color and I'm a terrible cook.  You'd know that as much as I love art, I really don't want to be a professional artist.   I love to read and write. If you really knew me you'd know I'd rather be too hot than too cold. You'd know that I don't play ultimate for the sport but for the people.  You'd know I love to sing but haven't preformed since 5th grade.  If you really knew me you'd know I don't wear Christmas sweaters everyday because I like them. I know I look ridiculous. I do it to make people smile and laugh. If you really knew me you'd know I don't really care for stuff. I just want memories. If you really knew me you'd know I live the beach but couldn't live without the mountains.  You'd know they one of my best friends commit suicide when I was 15 and I've never been the same since.  You'd know that I want to know you story. The good and the bad. If you really knew me you'd know there's nowhere if rather be than a family party. You'd know I've only ever been on a date with boys on my team. You'd know I have 2 sisters and a brother. If you really knew me you'd know I live to smile. If you really knew me you'd know I absolutely live sledding, and fairytales are my favorite.  You'd know that all I've ever wanted to do is teach, and that really hate wearing makeup, so I don't. You'd know I've never been kissed. If you really knew me you'd know I like manual labor and cut myself twice in five minutes trying to teach myself how to carve. If you really knew me you'd know I love to dance but can't because of my feet.  If you really knew me you'd know I love my family more than anything and that my mom is my best friend.  If you really knew me you'd know that this class saved me. I've learned more during A2 than I've learned in all my other periods combined. Worth knowing that is. You'd know I don't want it to end. But all good things do come to a close eventually.

So thanks Nelson for making me believe in love again. For teaching me I have nothing to be afraid of. Thank you Eleanor Douglas, my best friend. Elizabeth Grace my next door neighbor. Hancock the love expert. Katie lane my ultimate captain. Dante Alexander whom I can't find words to describe and crusty muffin for the chance to preform your blog.

So no more hiding. It's time for y'all to know who I really am. Not just Douglas Malloch. But also Meghan Abbott.
