This poem doesn’t hold as much truth as it did when I first wrote it. Right now, I am working on different things, under a different mindset. Nonetheless, this is my honest poem, kids. Hope you enjoy it.

I’m a Sagittarius.
which means
I love to travel.
But I’ve noticed that traveling has made me feel like I never had a real home to begin with....I've become really good at making any place,
Or person
Feel like a safe space I can lay my head for a while.
I’m really good at remembering faces,
I’m working on being bad at that. People find it weird when you stare and don’t share what’s on your mind.
I get anxious when people know my name before I know theirs...I tend to think my acknowledgment is something I have to earn overtime.
I’ve kept my mind hidden for most of my life. Maybe because I’m the youngest of four and whenever I tried to talk I was considered annoying and a bore.
So, I listened more.
I don’t really like to talk.
but I love to write.
I consider these two things completely different. One is a choice, the other is a means of survival.
My favorite things to do should not be my favorite things to do. It includes distance, self-harm, and smiling at people that don’t smile back.
I’m starting to believe family is a 24/7 job with unlimited benefits.
I have spent too much of my time searching for part-time people that make me feel like I'm paying for their presence.
I have major trust issues...blame Drake.
Music is my favorite way to talk. I think it speaks volumes my own voice can never reach. I would love to take a walk with Amy Winehouse and learn how she talks.

Hi,

my name is Christine.

I think addiction and homelessness are some of the most humane experiences a person can go through.
...and I think love drives us all crazy.
You see, love,
Love has always been a foreign concept in my life. It takes too long to acquire citizenship and I’m over it before it even starts.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
