just the girl

The intial post is always awkward especially since, as of just now, I am the only one reading my words. This leaves space for me to be as candid as I want but I realize that as exhilarating as this sounds, it’s potentially dangerous. We live in an increasingly public world and what I write here today can’t be anything I wouldn’t want to shout from the rooftops. So, here goes. 

I am Jennifer, also known as Niffy (it’s a college nickname thing–a nice alternative to Jen(n), Jenny and the like). I am currently 25 but still holding tight to 16. I read once that as long as you always dress like a 16 year old boy, no one will think you are “old”–I guess I prescribe to this. I am a Pisces though I don’t know how much this actually says about me. I was a child of alcoholics though I don’t know how much this actually says about me either–though I am sure it speaks volumes. I am currently undertaking wedding planning and navigating Postgrad education, I feel alien towards both. I hate awkward silences and fill them with even more awkward conversation. I shoot from the hip on most things and sometimes pull a bull’s eye but most times miss the point entirely. I have a horrible memory for the good stuff but I never forget the bad things–it’s a curse. 

I’m also not very pretty, so figure this narrative with all this in mind.
