It's a Mad World

Beginning of My Thoughts

Let's just say that this world is something else. I never know what is coming next. I don't know if you'll understand why I think the way I do, but I'll tell you about myself to help you. I'm 15, and a sophmore at GHS in Tennessee. I'm a Christian and member of Siloam General Baptist Church. It's a small country church with a preacher that is like my grandfather. My grannie, or great grandmother, is the secretary of the church. I've been there since I was a baby. I've lived in Oyster Creek and Newton, Texas and also in St. Amaunt and Gonzales, Louisiana. I was homeschooled during the time I lived in all those places which was about a year or so. I'm not perfect in any shape or form. I'm around 5'3 with long brown hair and brown eyes. I love nature. The woods is my favorite place. I guess you could assume that from me being southern and country, but it's not that. Nature makes me feel at peace. I really don't know how anyone can destroy so much of it and sleep at night. I apologize if what I say is being critiqued by some English major or teacher. I'm writing this the way I want. I'm human, and I'm going to make mistakes whether it be in writing or in my life. It happens. I want anyone who has never made a mistake to throw the first stone. There will not be one stone thrown my way. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will not defeat me. Words hurt, but I will never let them defeat me. I've been suicidal and depressed. I am still depressed, but I'm coming out of it. God is my rock, and I believe in him. If you don't, that's your decision. This is mine. You can torture me and put a gun to my head, but I will not change my mind. I'm stubborn and I won't back down. -December 24, 2014
