Semi-homeless
I'll spare you the sob story that is my current adolescence. If you want to know, I'll write some poetry about it. My childhood was okay. I was kind of a loner, but I know how to make and keep friends. Despite the struggles I'm going through right now, I'm a rising senior in college, ironically studying biology after trying creative writing out for 2 years. / A very late bloomer, my 21-year-old self got her first kiss, date, and boyfriend (in that order) just a few weeks after her birthday. Keeping up with the tradition of firsts, that boy broke up with her after 2 weeks (2 WEEKS!) and hurt her deeply. She's in the healing process, and she found that the only way to express the myriad of emotions she was experiencing was through poetry. She wrote eight poems in about an hour that night. / They're not good (she's a newbie, after all), but she really appreciates anybody and everybody who reads her stuff.
