- I have been used, left bleeding and alone, to watch over a broken family and myself at an impossibly young age. Growing into womanhood without a model to base off of. Still here I am, "One day you're going to wake up and realize how much you truly love her, and when that day comes, she'll be waking up next to the guy who already knew...", Here I am, I am Strong, Fun, Dependable, Thoughtful, Friendly, Realistic, No Bullshit, and I am My Own Woman.
