At age 12, I was put on tranquilizers when I should have gotten help. There was nothing major and awful, I just didn't feel my family was supportive and emotionally generous

We spend our whole lives recovering from high school.

I want to keep meeting new people, enlarging my circle of friends. I have great friends now... really good people. But I'm always ready for what comes next

Mistakes are growth, and we learn not to do it again. But it doesn't make you a terrible person. That's important to me.

I feel like I'm addicted to the printed word.

My father was a very unhappy person, very sarcastic, and my mother was very nervous and worried about what people thought. They weren't monsters, but it wasn't a good childhood.

I tried to write with someone else once before, but it was not successful.
