Hi. Umm, my names Tia I'm 17 and I'm in Year 12 at The Liberty School of Arts. I like to sing, dance, paint, and act. I'm a bit shy if you couldn't tell already and don't have many friends but I manage to live on through high school. Oh, and I have a heart defect you can literally see my heart on the outside of my chest. It is covered by a layer of skin and I wear a shield around my torso to protect it. Not gonna lie it's hard sometimes.
——————————————
No one knows about my health issues because I actually managed to keep it secret. I didn't want any of the extra attention and thankfully I got my wish. Actually more than I could've asked for I'm pretty much invisible. I won't lie sometimes I get a bit lonely and start to get upset but I calm myself with a happy song and then I'm alright. Now that you have a bit my if my backstory let me tell you the story of my life.
