(Day) 1: Introduce Yourself
I'm 19 years old, I have borderline personality disorder, my hands are HUGE but very slim, I'm bisexual, I have a dog and a sister, I'm really tall, I was born on Valentine's day, and I have extremely big feet.
I'm overweight, but it's not the most important thing in my life right now.
My mom just passed away a month ago, and I'm still dealing with the fact that I am now forced to live with the father that abandoned my sister and I several years ago, and who has never played a large part in our lives because of his workaholic tendencies and verbal abuse.
I have pretty short hair now, compared to how long it was a year ago, and it's kind of blondish-brown with my reddish-brown roots showing. I really need to dye it.
I'm technically still in high school, because I missed my senior year due to illness (aka I was kicked out because this society has no understanding or tolerance for people with mental illnesses). I hate that I'm still in high school. If you asked me in 4th grade where I'd be at the age of 19, I would say "Studying ecology or zoology at Harvard." Obviously, I changed what I wanted to be over the years, and I even dropped the idea of going to Harvard, but I still thought I'd be in college, not making up high school credit through two courses at the school I go to and two Middlesex Community College courses.
I'm actually pretty okay with myself. I'm much more confident than I even thought I could be, seeing as I don't think I'm that attractive and I am definitely overweight, and that's because I have some amazing friends.
Wow, this introduction has gone on pretty long. I guess I'll stop here.
