I guess everyone thought I was going to be a writer. I went through some old jounrals from high school and tbey looked like eminem lyrics. A therapist I had asked about my writing one time and said it was "pretty impressive." I was really passionate about it as a teenager.

I would do that thing where I would start off slowly and all neat and then end up with 3 pages of crazy handwriting stuff
