    About Me

    I'm 22 years old and live in California. I came here 2 years ago from Florida. My family still lives there. Originally I'm from Canada though. I've realized that the grass isn't always greener on the other side (literally on the other side of the country). I'm trying hard to get myself through school while working on the side as well. I struggle with an eating disorder, major depression/bipolar, anxiety, and other OCD behaviors.

    Interests

    I'm still trying to figure out what I like to do. I have a small dog who I absolutely love. He has helped me through so many hard times just by him being him. Animals are awesome!
