I'm 21 years old. I'm pretty much homeless, but I try not to let it keep me down too much. I don't know many people because I'm in so much pain most of the time I can't DO anything. I write a lot of poetry and am into the "goth" subculture, but, unfortunately, people seem to judge me for that before they know me too. I like to think of myself as a very friendly and empathetic person, but sometimes I can lack tact and my sense of humour can "hit a bit too close" for some people. Just realize, if it's something most people would be uncomfortable joking about, it's probably something I'm living with and trying to trivialize for my own benefit.
