yet again..
for those of you who are new to my journal, here's a list of important people/people i talk frequently about in my journal.
sam - my boyfriend.
john/johnny - my older brother, who has a different mother..
april - our next door neighbor/friend that is constantly over.
adam - my best friend, in TX.
kelsey - best friend and part of one of the baddest trios in history (she, adam and i)
lauren - my best friend of 8 years. there's been a lot of drama with her in the past.
tiffanie - another best friend.
alyssa - really, really good friend.
an intro to my life: i still live with my parents, in maine. hopefully at some point this summer/early fall, i'll be moving with sam. i have bipolar disorder and poly cystic ovarian syndrome. i used to be a cutter. 2 weeks ago, i got a tattoo on my wrist (that sam paid for, gotta give him props or i'll get shit, haha) saying "this is not an exit" as a symbol of not having to cut myself anymore to be okay, plus it's the name of a saves the day song. saves the day has been my favorite band for 6 plus years and have honestly saved my life more times than i can count. photography is a passion. my mother is an alcoholic who thinks she is recovering, but has 2 beers a night, sometimes more. typically, she doesn't get drunk anymore, but there are a few select nights. my father is a vietnam war veteran, who has PTSD. i'm an eighteen year old highschool dropout (10th grade), who is struggling to find the motivation to finish my GED testing. i've been through some tough shit. but i've fought my way through. i've tried really hard to not let the bad shit bring me down.
i thought the best way to describe myself would be through the people who know me the best. so when asked "if you were going to tell someone who didn't know me.. one thing about me, what would it be?"
adam said "you have one of the most amazing spirits i've ever known."
sam said "you are the most beautiful person that you could ever meet. not just on the outside but on the inside as well"
kelsey said "your laugh, is my stress relief. and you have an amazing heart."
