shwmae world!

Hi

So I'm kind of new to this, see if you can tell.

I thought that I would write my first post to give you a little window into me. Feel free to peer in and let your breath fog up the glass. 

I am a teenager, living in a culture where we are tossed to and fro by the waves of society. And I am beginning my recovery from an eating disorder. 

Most people who know me are completely unaware of what goes on in the dark recesses of my mind, which is why this blog is under a pseudonym. I don't yet have the courage to fully draw back the curtains on the darkness that I can sometimes hide inside, and I think that's okay. 
But I'm taking what I think is a necessary step and beginning to post my thoughts and things that encourage me on the interweb, in the hopes that someday a kindred soul will find them. 

:: disclaimer ::

I am fluent in sarcasm and like to use big words because they make me seem far more intelligent than I actually am. 

I sincerely hope that someone is able to find some hope or comfort from the words that I find to comfort myself, and that would make this whole endeavor worthwhile.
