QUESTIONER

I've been rowing for over half my life. #rowbot
I'm an identical twin and one of five kids (two sets of twins and a brother in the middle)
My boyfriend is 3" shorter than me.
I lose track of time searching for rocks and seashells.
I twirl my hair when deep in thought.
I rarely ever take photos straight up and down.
I'm a chronic perfectionist in recovery.
I don't know anything about makeup.
My happy places are on the water at sunrise, in a Miro board by day, and cuddles on the couch with my dog at night.
