I didn't start last time, so I'm starting now.

Hello! I'm Janice, (not my real name, but that's only because I didn't have a say at my naming ceremony).
For as long as I can remember, I've lived inside!

No, I’m not Rapunzel; Yes, I do go to school, church and visit with friends occasionally. However, I’m usually at my best when I’m indoors. I’m at my finest, smartest, fattest and all positive “ests” when I’m inside.

Everyday, I wake up with plans of how I’ll be different and actually step outside; still, everyday the clock ticks, hours pass by and I’m still inside.

Do I like staying inside? Maybe
Do I want to go outside? Defs, yeah!
Why then am I inside?
Because, I have too many things to do outside that I honestly don’t want to do. Plus, these activities actually involve communicating with strangers!!! Ewww! Where’s the fun in that?
At this rate, I think I might actually need a personal assistant to do my outside runs while I continue to live inside.

Before you call me lazy, please note; I AM A VIOLET, and Violets bloom in secret places!!!
