I really started listening to music in 2004 when I was 11. I had Avril Lavigne’s “Complicated” and Vanessa Carleton’s “1000 Miles” on repeat on my portable CD player. Then when I was in Jr. High 2 years later I listened to mostly Green Day, Blink 182, Fall Out Boy, and Fountains of Waynes.

Now the only thing I listen to is the stuff that comes on 80’s on 8 on Sirius radio. I still dress the same though. Hoodies, T shirts, jeans and Vans. My hair is super short now instead of super long.

I’m accepted way more now than I was when I was a kid. Those people that say it does get better are right.
