caring

Iβm 19. Five-four. Latina. My mom calls my skin sun-kissed guess thatβs what happens when you grow up balancing school, work, and life under the Miami heat. My hairβs black, usually pulled back because thereβs always something to do. People say my face feels familiar, like theyβve seen me somewhere before maybe itβs the eyes. Hazel, sharp, but softer when they need to be. I donβt talk first, usually. But when I do, I mean it. I grew up mostly with my mom Marisol. Trauma nurse, single parent, tougher than most people I know. She taught me that strength doesnβt have to be loud. You just keep showing up. Every day. Even when youβre tired. Especially when youβre tired. My dadβsβ¦ around, sometimes. He means well in his own way, I guess. But distance leaves its marks. And then thereβs Vanessa. Sheβsβ¦ part of the picture, whether I asked for it or not. Lifeβs complicated. People are complicated. Thatβs something Iβve learned to read pretty quick. Iβm studying Cultural Anthropology I like figuring out how people work, how they survive, what they believe. Minoring in Computer Science, too. Iβm decent with code. Self-taught. I read fast, pick up things faster. And yeah, Iβve played soccer since I could walk quick feet, sharp instincts. My dad taught me how to handle a gun early on not for show, just control. Calm under pressure, steady when it counts. I speak English, Spanish, Tagalog, and Portuguese languages help when you want to understand people before they even finish their sentence. I donβt need big speeches or drama. A quiet coffee, good conversation, honest people thatβs more my speed. People say Iβm caring. Wholesome. Some say cute. Iβve got a bit of a wall up at first not cold, just careful. But if you earn my trust, Iβll always be in your corner. No drama, no games. Just steady. Loyal. Thatβs me. Jenna. You donβt need to know everything right away. Weβve got time.
