Sister love
My little sister Casey was a very cold and quiet child growing up so I never got much love from her. She was about 3 years old when I was playing with her in the living room trying to put together puzzles -
Coming out of the closet
-On April 26th, 2013 I made a simple post on facebook that had a picture of a pin with a rainbow colored sheep captioned, "I'm the rainbow sheep of the family".I'd thought nothing of it because I hadn't thought of it as a big deal. However my family took the news as a shock even despite the way I dressed,acted,talked. Of course when it came around to my mom messaging me to see her in the other room I got scared. but after we talked she told me that she accepted me and still loved me. -
Getting Help
-My mom saw the signs first even before I did. I had always thought that my anger was normal. I hadn't noticed how one second I was happy and the next I was sad. But my mother had and shesaw me looking confused as I would struggle between wanting to be happy and mad and just break down in tears. It wasn't fun but I got help and now I take a special medication to help balance out my hormones. -
Winning at art
-It was the last week of Junior year and the winner of the art slam hadn't been announced yet. Every day I was on the edge of my seat listening to the morning announcements just waiting to hear the winner in hope that it was me. On Thursday there was an announcement in the middle of the day saying that I had won! for my entry I had submitted a two faced portrait of myself. One side was how everyone saw me and the other was the way that I saw myself. It had brought the judges to tears. -
#Throwbackthursday
when I was 2 years old my mom had a boyfriend who I had believed to be my real dad at the time. Later in life I learned differently. last year I got to see him again and I cried with joy because his mom called me her granddaughter and he still called me her daughter. -
Open Saysme!
Houdini is my robo dwarf hamster and he made my life a little bit happier because he was small and little and loved me. I feel more of a connection of friendship with animals than I do people. But this is the day I got him -
Baby on board
-My friend Letricia and I had always joked about having babies when we grew up and had the fairy tale of growing old with our boyfriends. Of course as luck would give it, Letricia did end up pregnant. We were sitting at our spot in school and she was crying but wouldn't tell me but kept repeating that she was going to be introuble with her mother. When she finally told me we told her mother together and then told the father who is now her husband. -
Wedding bells
October 16th,2014 I watched my mom get married for the second time. I was a little hesitant about the guy she was marrying. I didn't know him and his kids got on my nerves half the time. -
True friends
It was my last week at Dobson highschool and I'd finally found the courage to tell my friends that I was leaving school to go to online At Primavera. My friend Carolina I had known since 8th grade was now mad at me saying I was being selfish and being stupid for leaving. I had tried to make her understand that I wasn't learning anything in my classes and my counsler wasn't doing anything to help me get new teachers.My other close friend Letricia had supported my decision -
Giving up
-I was going through a bad time recently and I was crying myself to sleep constantly. Everything that I knew was falling apart around me and I was falling apart with it. I looked around at my family and realized that none of them knew what I was going through. I wore Jackets in summer and I'd grown pale and tired. I had to tell myself that it got better. That it just had to get better. Im still going through this because I don't want anyone to think that giving up is okay.
