First post.

Oh hello there, I didn't see you come in. My name is Betsy. At this point in my life I'm 16 years of age, in the summer before my junior year of high school. I doubt anyone will ever read this, but in case someone actually does, I will just tell you some things about myself. (After all, people usually do love to talk about themselves...) My favorite colors are green and blue. I like corn on the cob, hopscotch, being barefoot, I just stubbed my toe and it hurts, I like sand, beaches, walking, french manicures, music, writing, the sound of a piano and acoustic guitar, my family, my friends, and I feel things deeply, but most of the time I keep it inside, which is hard to believe if you know me because I'm loud and talkative. Most of what goes on in my heart stays there. I'm not always open with people, but I like to be honest. I'm trying to find out about myself. I write a lot of poems, some turn into songs. It's the best way for me to release my heart. Some of the stuff I write is really confusing and comes out in a long series of confusing words, much like this probably is. I've had my heart broken, I've felt true love from the people in my life, I'm spoiled in life, I don't deserve it. I have the most amazing parents in the world that love each other, and I take that for granted sometimes. I have two older brothers that would do anything for me and I love them. My friends are the greatest you will ever meet. I like music that makes you want to dance. But, the most important thing about me is that I am a Christian. I'm not perfect. Far from it. But I'm trying to live a life that would make God proud. I fail at this every day, but the beauty of it is that He forgives me. I will try for the rest of my life to be worthy of His love, but I know I will never achieve this goal. But I still will try. Because it will be worth it.
