I Am Not As Innocent As People Think I Am
People look at me and generally assume I'm 5-10 years younger than I am. I still get mistaken for a teenager on occasion. I'm kind of shy, but when I open up I am upbeat and energetic. Bubbly, even.
I don't drink. I don't smoke. I've never touched drugs. (Maybe that's why I still look young.) I'd probably look at a bong and assume it's a vase if I saw one in real life. I don't have any tattoos. My hair is its natural color. I dress very casually.
There's a lot of life experiences I haven't had that other people have. I went to a nightclub for the first time at age 29. I've never been into the whole clubbing and partying scene. Never done a casual hookup. Never wanted to.
I think a lot of people, even people my own age, see me as the innocent kid of the group. It's funny sometimes, when people who don't know me as well hear me say a bad word or make a dirty joke for the first time and they are surprised that I have that side to me. I think they expect me to be the type of person that gasps when someone drops an F bomb and covers my eyes when there's a naked butt on TV.
I'm not that innocent. My whole family cusses like sailors. I was watching R rated movies before I started kindergarten. I knew what sex was before I could do long division, and I'm just as interested in it as anyone. I just strongly prefer to keep my private life between me and my partner. I like horror movies with lots of gore and I can have a really dark sense of humor. I've been through some pretty rough times in my life and I've been hurt, just like anyone else.
Just because I seem younger than I am, doesn't mean I am more innocent than anyone else.
