I live in Mississippi... doing the college thing right now. I've been through a LOT of crap in my life, but I try not to let that get to me. Instead, I try to incorporate those things into my writing. My 12th grade English teacher called me a "sponge" lol. Said something about how I absorb information. So, yeah, I am smart... and I'm not bragging, simply stating a fact. I'm no genius, but there's no reason I shouldn't be proud of my intelligence. Despite what my IQ might be, I still have blonde moments... lots of them! Lol! I'm not afraid to just go all out and have a little fun, but I am a typically shy person. Most of my poetry can be taken at face value... if it sounds like it came from personal experience, chances are, it did. But not all of what I write about actually happened to me, so don't judge me based on what you "think" I may be like. Wanna know something... JUST ASK. I've not found anyone on this site that I've actually met before or even lives near me, and I have no reason to want to hide behind my computer. I'm generally an honest person, even if the truth is hard to hear.
