    • About Me

      I'm a 22 year old lesbian who works full time taking care of a woman who is deaf and blind because of severe MS. I grew up in North Carolina with two deaf parents (my mom ended up deaf-blind) and I learned to sign way before I learned how to speak. In high school I hung with the deaf kids. I flunked out of high school and when I came to New York the only job I was able to get was taking care of the woman I now take care of. Taking care of her takes up most of my time and leaves little time for fun. I have no one to have fun with as I have not met many people my own age here in New York. Ppl in New York are different from how ppl were back home and i am kind of lonely here. I was recently diagnosed with mild cerebral palsy
