“I moved here to help myself as a person.”

Recently I was kicked out of my house by my family. I just moved to West Hollywood to live with my aunt about a week ago. I moved here to help myself as a person, to grow and be in a good environment and to get away from negative energy that wasn’t letting me be who I am as a person. I’m here to start off and be happy and grow and go to school and find a new life and new people and move on from bad past experiences.

Now I’m living with my aunt and she is being extremely supportive and helping me be more a person and individual. She is awesome.

I do have a stuffed animal. I’ve had it since I’ve been a baby, so it’s a piece of a rag now so it’s not really a stuffed animal anymore. I’ve actually tried to find the same stuffed animal because it was so close to me and now it’s down to just a piece of tail and fur. It’s just a little rag cat now. It’s really close to me, it’s special. Its name is Yowie.
