So, I know I did one of these before, but I feel like that one was poorly done and I just feel like writing about myself as strange as that sounds.
Well, I'm an only child, and I really hate it because I get blamed for everything. Also, there's no one to talk to sometimes and it gets a little lonely. Right now I'm a freshman in High School, which to tell you the truth is okay but it can be better. I was separated from my friends and now I go to High School with guys who focus more on my chest than my face.
How Did I get Started Writing?
It all started when I was in second grade. I wasn't the most popular girl. I was just this wallflower against the playground fence, jumping in Autumn leaves and I had two best friends. We were thicker than thin, greater than anything. Yes, I was just the geek who wasn't a size two and looked horrible in uniforms, but that was life and I lived it. I was the girl with the dark plain slanted eyes and dark skin and hair that could never do anything but sit there. I hated getting my hair combed and I hated getting it braided and I wished that I inherited my great grandmother's straight ebony tendrils but yes, that's life.
It was me and my mom, and I liked it, though she worked all the time at a job she hated and I had to wake up in the morning to go to my grandmother's house to go to school because we lived outside of Pittsburgh then and my mom wanted me to go to a better school than the one in my current neighborhood. I hated that, but it was all I knew, and it was life. Then I got really sick. I got so sick I'd faint and I'd end up in and out of the hospital. To make a long story short, I was diagnosed with an illness that starts with a P, an illness I can't pronounce. It kept me in the hospital for six weeks.
But before that, I was a dreamer, I was this little girl with reddish-brown pigtails wondering why I didn't have a house and a dog and a brother and a sister and a father and a mother who wasn't sad even though she smiled. Then, my wish came true, but it came too late. I was a vivid reader at the age of seven and I could read anything. My grandmother and mom would spell out things to keep me from understanding their private conversations but I was smart and that caused me a lot of grief. I found out I had a father and I also found out that he wanted my mother to have an abortion and that he didn't want me. Yep, that's what I get for learning how to read to good. When he finally came to meet me, I hated him, I drove myself into fainting spells and I didn't want anything to do with him. My mom fought like hell to find the bastard who left my mom pregnant and on her own only to find this idiot who is stuck-up and has money but doesn't want to lend it and had this girlfriend who smiled but really hated me. I used to ask my mom how come she couldn't buy me a dad from the store and she said she'd get me one and she did but I wanted the receipt, I didn't want him anymore.
Through all that, I started to write. I wrote poetry and raps at first but then I'd write short stories for my other grandmother and she'd post them on her refrigerator. I liked this new world and wanted it more than anything. I wanted to become a character that I made up but I couldn't, and that was life.
Now
I have a tendency of starting a book and not finishing it. I know I'm only fourteen but I have a dream and that dream is to finish a book and get published. It's my passion, it's the one thing that I live for and I love doing it. I mean when I found YWS I was so happy that there were others out there that understood what writing was to them.
I know my life before seemed really bad before but now it's better. I don't have nothing to do with the bastard anymore and my grandmother (his mother) is still trying to make me feel guilty for not calling him. But I don't care really. You can think me harsh, but I gave him chances.
