I am...alive, loved by someone, good with animals, a good friend

I am not...dead, thin enough, pretty, happy, normal

I feel...disurbed, sick, hateful, angry at the world, dead

I want...to be normal, away from all the drama, to kill the people who hurt me, to forget...to remember

I need...to be able to calm down, to stop screwing around with my meds

I have...friends who love me, nice pets that love me, a good sense of humor

I love...my friends, my pets, my music, art,

I hate...the people that have hurt me, life, close-minded people, homophobes and racist people, people that throw thier religions in my face, having my hands sticky, being yelled at for being different...oh there are so many things...
