How do you like the opening to my story? READ AS MUCH AS YOU WANT!?
I like it. However, you are kind of drowning the reader in the sheer volume of your words; you describe everything so much that you leave nothing to the imagination. In fact, all of the description makes it a little bit hard for anyone reading this to wrap their head around it. It seems to me like you're matching every noun and verb with an adjective in order to be boring, but in doing this you make it more boring. For example, you say "My petite feet had green bits of gr on them. As I looked up at the azure sky, I immersed my slim body into the stream, turning my hair from a strawberry blond shade to auburn." You could do without the words petite and slim, as they make your main character seem both self-absorbed and narcissistic, and do not add much to the sentence.
