I am a young teenage female, who writes for fun. And I'm looking to start my writing career and hopefully help others in the process.  My writing began when I was younger as a getaway from my real life whether it be drama with family or the struggles of being sick and a minority. Reading was/is a way that helped me discover myself as a person and what I enjoy, I wanted to feel welcomed and accepted for being myself. That was what I wanted to do as my journey.  My goal on this forum is to help people and give a perspective to those with struggles of my own, but I do also make my own stories and characters. To anything that interests me, whether it be 'nerdy' things or short stories that attempt to bring a message on what a certain struggle is like.
