Well I'm me.
I can't be a copy of someone else, so obviously I'm not a clone/copy of them.

Not to sound like im nagging, but given some of the shit I've gone through, I know its affected my mentality AND mental health. So that being said, I know for a fact I'm definitely not like the other girls my age.

As far as mental health goes, I struggled with depression and incredibly low self-confidence in high school, but that's all been loads better since I got to college.

Orientation... well... I like girls, for starters!
Idk, a couple of my straight girl friends (note: not girlfriends Emoticon: Grin :D) think women are attractive, but they could never actually kiss one. I, on the other hand, can definitely kiss girls! Emoticon: Smile :)

as a little kid, i was pretty messed up. I knew i was different, but i didn't know why, and that infuriated me way more than it should have. I sorta kinda attempted suicide in the fourth grade. I got better by ignoring those differences, until the summer of 7th grade when a boy named Conrad tried to kiss me and I ran away, trying to convince myself i was normal. I think it's pretty apparent how that went.

We're not like normal people, that's why we're on QA. We have depression and issues independantely but that's why we band together. Overcoming depression is something I've not managed but thanks to places like QA, I can ride it oot. Don't force yourself to consider yourself mentally unstable, just talk through your issues and things will stabalize on their own.

I consider myself pretty normal. I wrestle and play with my male friends just like straight men would, i like cars and playing xbox. Trust issues are a problem due to some cruel ex-friends, and i have my ups and downs with depression, but who doesn't? Mentally i'm healthy and stable.
I am strong because I know weakness.• I am compassionate because I have experienced suffering. •I am alive because I am a fighter.• I am wise because I have been foolish.• I can laugh because I have known sadness.• I can love because I have known loss
