    About Me

    I was probably having my first panic attack as I was being spit out of my mom. Then things got worse. I always seemed older than her with a lot more sense. I've had to get my family out of my life because they're all very toxic. It's hard to live my life without the help of family but they have only caused me problems since it's easier to blame me for things they did wrong instead of being responsible adults ~ for which they are not.

    Interests

    I have tons of interests; the biggest is being able to live near or by a lake with few neighbors. I love to fish. When I lived in Little Rock, Arkansas, I bass fished every weekend almost year round & was in a few tournaments but I don't mind fishing for anything. Because I want to have peace of mind & maintain it, I enjoy reading books about how to change my thinking.
