Thoughts of mine.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So far in life, I have learned that many hardships will come to you,
and you will suffer greatly. I have learned that it doesn't matter how much you have suffered,
But what matters is what you gain from the experience.
I hold many questions in the back of my mind, Buzzing with their presence.
There are times when I feel selfish, for I know that others have it worse.
That doesn't stop the agonizing thoughts that pick at my brain.
There have been times where time is unbearably slow, and filled with torture.
It feels like I almost cannot take it.
I will make it through this.
I know it.

About me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes it feels like I am a middle-aged ( or older ) woman trapped in a teenagers body.
I find my train of thought tends to be very peculiar. I am beyond my years.
I am a Fifteen year old girl. I will be Sixteen in January. I was born on January 16th, 1993.
My name is Haley Celeste Westlake. I am a "Plain Jane" on the outside.
Colorful on the inside ( Maybe, even pretty ). I was born a natural Blonde, but to be honest with you, I hate my natural haircolor. ( It is the "Marilyn Monroe" Platinum Blonde hair color. Naturally. NO BLEACH )
Artificially my hair is black, currently. I have had my hair dyed every color ( for hair, even if its just in one shade. ), but green. I have had it dyed Blue, Red, ( back to blonde ), Orange, (In the process of making it blonde, from dark red hair. ) Black, Purple, Brown, Pink. I think I got all the colors, If I missed one, Don't mind me.
