" It does exactly what it says on the tin - I was very Scared to be joining a support group such as this, was scared about the past, scared about the future and scared that I was going to off myself before I had a chance to get better.
Scarred because of all the self harm, the memories and the past

So yea, ScaredandScarred

As for the Monkey nickname that I seem to have picked up that was for the infamous monkey avi that I always go back to!! Basically put in "scared" into a google image search and up he popped!! "

" very good question I have been wanting to share this...
my name means no obama , showing my non-support, I am not a republican or anything, I equally dislike all politicians and government

In the US a lot of people talk about Obama like a savior, there are bumper stickers that say 'hope won',as if all problems are now going to disappear, Obama won't take real steps to house the homeless or feed the hungry , the US has by far the most people in prison per capita, our government does not work for us and with Obama's election, a lot of people are now satisfied, even if the change is only a facade, barack obama has reversed policy already, he tries to appear progressive without enacting anything, so nobama means no obama "

" It represents a new chatper in my life. Im a new song. There is a song that goes with it.

Bellastina was my old name. And even tho I did like that name, It was a nick name that my stbx used to call me. That name just no longer applies to me. "
