Bio
I write things, sometimes. Duh. My writing mainly revolves around fiction with a bit of shitty poetry. I'm an actress, as well, and I am an avid music-listener. My work is usually fueled by angst or anxiety, so there may be a theme here.

Boys and Me
My "adventure" with boys really kicked off in seventh grade. I'm a high school senior now, so that was five years ago. In seventh grade, I was bullied by a boy that wanted to date me.

I was never scared of the various men in my life because they never gave me any reason to be scared of them. This was the first time I had ever been scared of a male figure. The bullying was all mental. I was scared of the boys who bullied me because they bullied me in a way that made me hate myself. Growing up I loved being me, so the bullying caused a whole bunch of conflicting feelings. I started questioning myself every single day. I became self-conscious about every part of me. My brain was fighting against me.
