The lives of 15.

Chari5ard or Charis

So... hi? I guess?

I'm Charis or Chari5ard... or Chari... or Chair... I have a lot of nicknames.

 I suppose I'm going to tell you a bit about my life, I mean, you don't actually have to read it, but if you're interested. GO RIGHT AHEAD! :D

Anyways, I was born on April 21, in Australia. More specifically Port Hedland. I have long dark brown hair, tanned skin and brown eyes. DAMN! THOSE DETAILS DOE!

Now, I honestly doubt you have heard of the place. It's nothing really special, it's just a mining town covered in red dirt. Pretty much like every other mining town in Australia.

It doesn't seem like much to others, but it was my life. The sad thing is, I was much happier there.

I was born and bred in Port Hedland, so I suppose you can say I'm a Pilbara girl. I am the youngest of four and also, the only girl. It's not that bad really, especially since I was never a 'girly girl' to begin with. Being born in Port Hedland ruled that option out a long time ago.

Then, were some of the best years of my life. It may sound weird but Primary school was one of my best memories, and one of the only times I can actually remember myself being happy. You wouldn't think the school was big, considering we only had 330 something students, but to the people of Port Hedland, we were the biggest school. I absolutely loved that school. The teachers, the students, the classes... Everything.

I never lived that far away either, making it easy for my best friend and I to walk to school, not to mention the fact that she lived across the road from me.

Speaking of walking to school. One day my best friend and I were riding on our bikes to school with her younger brother, but we took a short cut through an area still being built. While we were riding, a rock got caught in my tire and I flew off the bike, crashing down on the lovely red dirt. My right knee down to my ankle was completely torn up, and there I was, laughing my ass off. The worst part was, where I fell off, it was extremely rocky. We still rode to school, walked to class then I got sent to the office...

Yep, the first thing I do is go to fucking class. Good job Charis.

Enough about my Primary school.

Now, I want to talk about moving to hel- I mean, Perth. The capital of WA.

Don't get me wrong, I love the city and all but I prefer the Pilbara. Yes, I prefer the ridiculously hot climate and annoying amount of dust. That's just me.

When I moved to Perth, I left everything. Everything I knew, everyone I knew and pretty much my whole childhood. It also led me to fall into depression and develop anxiety... at the age of 10...

Some may say I was being dramatic but I don't know. I just stopped eating, talking, everything. I never felt motivated enough to do anything and I still don't. I always feel that I'm going to have something and it's just going to be taken away.

Sometimes I would just stop. I would just break down and not do anything. If it weren't for gum, I would have probably chewed off my lips by now and completely destroyed my palms. When I get anxious, I chew and bite my lips or I clench my fists really hard... that wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have huge ass nails. Thanks Dad.

I became so shy and self-conscious in high school, I would literally stand at my bag text my mum, trying to calm myself. And if anyone ever asked about my friends, I would just say they went to the bathroom. I used to cry myself to sleep, my mind making me believe that I would never be accepted here. And at the time, It felt like I wasn't going to be.

That's when I rediscovered YouTube. Yes, I had watched it before but I was always too happy running around with my friends back in Port Hedland to actually get into it. The first Youtuber that I had ever gotten into, I believe was Seananners? I then branched out, finding Delirious then Vanoss and all the others. My second oldest brother then introducing me to Minx, ChilldChaos ect.

I don't know what I would do without YouTube, I defiantly wouldn't be as happy as I am today. Even though I'm still not my happiest but I have my moments.

But the best thing is, that I have talked to so many cool people, that I never would've even thought to have talked to. Like this group for example. I never expected to be talking to all those lovely ladies daily.

I also never expected that someone could actually be as strange as I can be xD. (All hail the forks!)

I don't really have a dramatic life or at least I don't think I do, there were a couple stress related problems, including half of my hair falling out, but there never has been anything that was like, crazy? Yeah, Crazy.

I mean, It could be a lot worse.

SO! That's some of my story, And it also appears that I am the first one in this book. Mainly, because I got bored during class and had nothing better to do...
