I really just want to find out what I like because I've been with one man to the next and I just assume what they like. I really haven't spent any time exploring myself and like, what do I like? What do I not like? I know that I like to get a lot of sleep now. I never knew that I really needed and love sleep. I love running. I love, you know, so I'm like learning the things that I like and it's really fun, honestly. So I just want to keep doing that.
