Hi! My name is Scarlett Darby, and I am a proud equestrian.

I'm 14 years young

I'm a vegetarian

I am obsessed with music

I have a younger stepsister that hates me, along with our dad, and they both will go out of their ways to take away everything I love. That's why I try not to get attached to anything. Only horses. But they'll never know.

Luckily though, I live with my mom, who has hypothyroid, which means her hormones are out of whack, and her boyfriend, who's nice, I guess. I sorta avoid him.

I have a gorgeous horse, named Quincy, and he's the single thing I love in this messed up world. He's the only thing that loves me for me. The thing that keeps me holding on, day after day.

I'm kinda a loner at school, but that's okay, because I'll always have horseback riding. I'm the subject of most people's bullying, but I've developed a thick skin, so I've become numb to them. Well, almost. I think.

I really, really am looking for love. I want a boyfriend, a HUMAN, who will treat me right. But I've kinda lost hope, because my wariness, my refusal, my fear, of getting attached to things, makes it difficult.

But maybe I don't put up walls to keep people out. Maybe I put them up to see who cares enough to take them down.
