    • About Me

      I am 22 years old and single. I am going through a pretty rough time in my life right now. Looking for friends. I have been pretty sick most of my life so most poeple kinda steer clear of me because they dont want the drama. It hurts but I guess I can understand. I enjoy taking hikes on nature trails and thru the woods at a casual pace. I also really enjoy reading and writing. My biggest passion however is children, I love children.
