Hello, and welcome. I love reading and have been for years. Books are my escape from harsh reality and my way of relaxing after a very stressful day. They're like a drug to get me high, or that vacation to take me away, without the negative side effects or costs. Sometimes, a book seems to be the only thing standing between me and insanity. Or sometimes writing is how I calm down after something emotional happens, wheat her good or bad. Words are the blanket that I wrap myself in to keep out the cold. They are the walls that keep out the wind and rain. They are the sights and the sounds that make me forget that my feet are still on the ground because I feel like I'm flying through space and time. Words are my escape, my palace, and my home away. 
My life has been really hard, but I won't claim to have it worse than anyone else. I was bullied until very recently. In the past books were my only true friends because they would never leave or betray me. But in 2012 I met a boy who changed my life. We have been friends since we met, and in the summer of 2014, we started dating. We have been happily together since. Now I have real friends that are there for me. I still have my books too, obviously, but now I know how to deal with people too.
Anyways...as you can tell I like books and people (at least nice people). But I also love writing. I write poetry and short stories, but I have always wanted to write a book. I hope that with the help of this app and all you lovely people that I will be able to become a better writer. Thank you for giving me your time, and with that part of your life. Have a good day :)
