    • Interests

      I love reading and dancing of course, and making money. I also paint and used to sing. Im going to a junior college so I can save money to transfer to a 4 year college. I was getting a degree in photojournalism because I love exposing the truth (maybe cause Im secretive) and also helping people who's voice isnt often heard. Now though im leaning toward a degree in mental health nursing and journalism so i can do peace corps or doctors without borders. Also thinking about a degree in accounting or dance and dancing professional in accounting... Im too old to be this indecisive....

    • Close Eating Disorders
      Type: Anorexia

      Weight has always been an issue in my family. My mother used to feed me only small amounts of food when I was growing up and no junk food. She was always worried about her weight also. i grew up thinking this was normal. When I was 15 i was almost raped and this made me hate myself. I have been bulimic in the past, over exercised, and self injured. I have gotten to the point where I just restrict now but I fear I cant control this much longer.
