I Like to
Read [Book glued to my hand]
write [pen in other hand]
paint [paint on my jeans]
Draw [Graphite on my finger tips]
listen to music [to tune out the world]




I write because I have to, I write whatever comes to mind.

I'm very much a teenager and hating every minute of it. I love god and girls. I love each and every member of my fucked up family and all of my amazing friends. I'm a walking contradiction with my rainbows and crosses that I wear. I attempt to paint and draw but it all just ends up as just one big mess, like my brain. I read to hide my lack of self esteem. I want to be a journalist and a artist when I grow up but who the hell knows when that will be. I feel free when I capture my feelings on canvas or a few lines in a notebook. You can say that I cant do this, I need to change, but this is me for right now. && right now, I need to be true to myself
