<li>I have a few close friends but I&#8217;m very secretive so I don&#8217;t share much personal stuff (crushes, feelings, etc.)</li>

<p>No, dad doesn&#8217;t like to travel so I don&#8217;t much. We used to go to Niagra every year for a family get together (not to the falls though but we do drive by them most times still and that was only for a day) and we&#8217;re going to Elam this fall but that&#8217;s about it.</p>

<p>Hi and welcome!</p>
<p>Yes we are few in number but great in heart!&#x1f601;</p>
<p>I am and still am the same way! It&#8217;s just something I can pour my heart into and because I&#8217;m INFP, I have a hard time talking to people about my struggles so writing is somewhere safe that I can put them.</p>

<p>I do have to agree with where <a href='https://storyembers.org/members/legomaiego/' rel="nofollow ugc">@legomaiego</a> is going. And even though I gave some books with romance that weren&#8217;t too romantic, they aren&#8217;t really romances. If you are going to read a romance you will most likely have to deal with kissing, romance, etc. It&#8217;s just kinda part of the romance part of romance&#8230;</p>
