Big personality, bigger heart

Twenty-nine and I have been told my whole life that I'm a lot. I talk fast, I laugh loud, I take up space, and I've finally stopped apologizing for it. I grew up in Hartford, went away for grad school, came back for a teaching job at a magnet school. I'm single because I spent my twenties overfunctioning in relationships and I'm done being the only one trying. I want a man who matches my energy, or at least appreciates it. Someone who'll do karaoke at a downtown bar and not be embarrassed when I fully commit to a Whitney Houston song. I'm a handful and I know it. The right person won't mind.
