#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Klutzy

Published on April 13, 2021April 13, 2021 by Yinglan3 Comments

I am pretty klutzy, period. My mom used to singsong “clumsy, clumsy girl” whenever I fell down as a little girl. I think I fell because my mind was somewhere else, at least that’s why I fell and scraped my knees the last time, which was about a year ago.

#AtoZChallenge 2021 – I am Easygoing

Published on April 6, 2021April 3, 2021 by Yinglan1 Comment

I consider myself to be an easygoing person but of course, because of my doubtfulness, I am not certain I’m viewed as this person in some people’s eyes. In the past, I’ve had people give me conflicted ideas – people tell me I’m mean, people tell me I’m too nice and need to be meaner – you can see why I’d be confused.
