day 11: how would you describe yourself, in a loving way, to a stranger?

"Who's Janessa?" the stranger said. "I've never heard of her."
Whoa, really? I'm surprised. And that could go one of two ways... You could know the younger version. When she was young, wild, and free. Optimistic about life and the future. Down for fun anytime anywhere. If you needed someone to drive 30 miles with a pong table hanging out a back door of a 1999 Chevy Lumina, she's your gyal. If you, by chance, needed someone to reply strictly in song lyrics or movie quotes, hit her up. If you needed someone to roll over to a hatin' ass bitch's apartment and snatch her up, call Nessquik.
I feel like she was very misunderstood, with that rough exterior and whatnot. And, shit, I wouldn't blame you. But if you took a second to actually listen, she'd go into detail about how Tech N9ne will only get his flowers once he's gone even though he has a consistently fire catalogue for three decades. She'd tell you her infinite theories about religion and what's plausible and what's just stupid. She'd recommend "The Perks of Being A Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky (Future Nessers will encourage you to avoid the movie). So yeah, they'll say she's hard and too mouthy and her laugh is too loud, but those things transform into something more magical once you peel back the layers.
Now, back to the future... Sometimes there's glimpses of Old Nessie, but it's rare. Time and trauma and tides have rearranged her ectoplasm, which isn't necessarily bad. She's more mellow, slightly more level-headed. Not so eager to get buck anymore but she's working on being a better cook, fine-tuning her misandry (lol jk it's not real), and still definitely talks in movie quotes more than ever. Humor, intellect, compassion, and playlists on point. Her heart is gigantic and she only wants everyone to live authentically & safely. Okay, and to also go back to Six Flags Over Texas.
