50 Facts About Me, a prompt from 2016

Look what I found in the archives! This is why I don't throw anything away when it comes to my writing. I love finding treasures like this.

I am super curious to see if any of these "facts" have changed since 2016. A lot can happen in almost five years, right?

1. I was born in Los Angeles. Obviously this hasn't changed

2. I don't like dogs and believe this is a result of my dad never allowing us to have one as a pet when we were growing up. I still feel this way but I love that dogs are so loyal to their families and understand that raising a dog requires time, responsibility, love, nurturing, and proper training. I would like to have a dog in the future.

3. I love to binge-watch tv. Who doesn't?

4. I'm a huge fan of Beyonce. same!!!!

5. Most of my music library consists of late 90's to early 2000s music. I still love my 2000's music but I listen to a good amount of newer music by certain artists and acknowledge that it's okay to like music with no substance as long as it makes me feel good.

6. I can finally taste the difference between Pepsi and Coke.

7. Coke tastes better. Yup

8. I'd still drink Pepsi if it's the only option available. Yup because I'm a soda fiend.

9. My favorite Disney Princess is Belle There must be more than this provincial life! I am a fan of Moana and Tiana as well.

16. I've been getting anxiety attacks since I was 18.

17. I love tattoos but I never want to shell out the money for them. I still feel this way. I will never be like "Oh I want to save up for this new tattoo." I always spend money on items that grant me instant gratification

18. When I get stressed I turn into a bitch. I am getting better at this and trying to find better-coping mechanisms than just lashing out.

19. I'm a middle child
