I recently turned 19, and as much as I generally dislike attention, it is always nice to be reminded of all the people that love you with their birthday wishes. This may not seem like I am boasting, but I am proud of being able to have people I know who genuinely care for me. I think this speaks of my character that while being quiet and reserved, I still am able to make such strong connections with multiple people by being the most person I can. I think I am genuinely a good person that tries to show compassion and empathy to all people, as we as humans deserve. There is not much I am confident about, even much so boastful, but I pride myself in being patient and an understanding, caring individual. As a side note, I also enjoy writing and believe it is not overly difficult to labor through reading, although I know it is by no means as good as I wished it to be..
