she was made of broadway lyrics, movie marathons, and old book hoards—a whirlwind of inky fingers and summer freckles.  love:  -exploring different cultures -musicals -intelligent conversations -taking snapshots of ordinary things -creating stories from my imagination -deep souls -the story of icarus -art museums -van gogh gang -greek myths -filmmaking -poems - notebooks loath: -pessimists and close-minded people -the in-between of winter and spring -labels -cloudy night when you can’t see the stars -hotel showers infp | libra | ambivert | hipsta bookworm | canadian | poet these are my labels. these are what i try to disprove. these are what i am, and what i can’t stand to be. these make me stuck, make me shake a fist and say, “don’t put me in a box, i’m different.”  i’m autumn. ☾ ☾ ☾ if you were a doctor you could take a glance and determine facts about me. things like: brown hair mostly has her m...
