First Official Post

So. First official post. I'm a little nervous! I've been writing a little more than I had been - thanks to a Creative Writing course I'm taking online.

Where does one begin? I've had a ... life. I don't even know how to describe it. I grew up in a small town, I live in a small town still. I love to read, I love all animals. I love to be with my friends and I couldn't live without music. I play the piano by ear and I'd love to learn how to play the guitar.

I suffer from PTSD and Depression. It's important for me to include that because it's such a big part of who I am. I hate that, but I can't avoid it anymore. Avoiding it only makes things worse.

I'm a survivor of an abusive relationship.

I'm looking for love in all the wrong places - but I'm hoping that sometime soon someone will stumble along beside me and we'll find each other.

I have a lot of hope, I love to laugh.
