    About Me

    I'm a farmers daughter and enjoy all animals and children esp. my 9yr. old son. I'm definitely a Tomboy, at least at heart And I truly love life to it's fullest! Being human I'M JUST THAT human so occasionally I feel sad ....but I also feel happy! I'M 5'10'' athletic build. My family nor I understand my history of self-injury and I hear ''why would such a beautiful girl want to hurt herself!'' 1.I DON'T FEEL BEAUTIFUL and 2.I DONT ENJOY hurting myself , I know I need help, but what kind I'm not sure. I'm very alone and need friends so if your reading this , why not contact me?

    Interests

    I enjoy all activities, esp.sports walking, yoga and being active with my Son and Dog(Buster) and 2 cats(Cal and Babes). Staying healthy is my goal as much as possible these days. I'm the underachiever of a overachieving family! But I still take responsibility for my actions..and maybe that is why it's coming up on 4 years without self-injury.Sorry for caring on like this! I also enjoying gardening and esp. ''my flower area or where I have all kinds of plants.''
