This is Me, I’m 19, and I have the most amazing best friend in the world named Ben. (He’s helped me through alot!) My world consists of the people around me, music, animals and writing.

When I was little I lived in Ohio, and after some crazy things happened to my mom, my parents decided our family needed to be moved to Great ‘ol Pennsylvania.

It’s okay though. Because I learned that to understand the world, you need to know that bad things happen, but good things are the cure to a broken life.

Since the beginning of High School, I have been reminded over and over again by my peers about being overweight. I started to see that I had huge flaws that apparently everyone else noticed too.

So i changed everything about me. I stopped playing in mud, Learned what makeup was, and recently found out what a quick-fix was to losing weight.

many months later, I realize I started getting exactly what i wanted, but at a price that is just too high, (my life). Now I’m not losing as much as I was, but i’m more comfortable in my skin, because my closest friends don’t care about my weight or looks, and they’ve always been there for me, even though i’m not a size 3.

I have an amazing family, friends, and life. And now that I understand the world better, I’ve become a optimist. I like who I am. 

My life isn’t perfect, and neither is the world. But Now I know that the people around me are whats important, and I’d like it if i never lost them.
