1 girl but 2 very distinct personalities
I think that’s who I am. I’m essentially one girl but have 2 very different sides of myself. One half of me is very sweet. Girly. Delicate. This half speaks softly and minds her manners. This half will write you an encouraging note when you’re having a bad day, hold your hand if you’re going…

A happy memory
