About Me

I'm Alexx. I am 16 years old. I am a sophomore. I can not wait to get to really know myself. I am honest. I want to live my life to its potential. I am complex. Sometimes I don't even understand myself. So in that sense I do not expect anyone to understand anything I say or do. I am learning about myself so much. Most people in there life never get to experience what I am currently going through. Some of my friends know what I am talking about. At least they know what situation I am in. So to be brutally honest, I am sick. I have a disease called Anorexia Nervosa. It is extremely deadly. Unfortunately, I have to deal with all the consequences of this disease. I am in treatment for anorexia. I am striving of recovery. It is the hardest thing I have ever had to come to grips with. I am at just the beginning but I know that this is what I really want. I am critical of myself. I want to love myself and my body. I am me. I don't know how to be someone else. I am learning how to change. I want to be healthy. That is me. I am not in school anymore. But I get a tutor to come to my house and chill with me. I am extremely judgmental. I am not optimistic. I wish that I could win. I am a perfectionist in the break down. I am funny.

My Interests

Yeah, I eat 3 meals a day but whatch' ya gonna do about it?
"Time stands still when no one understands you and you don't quite understand yourself. Today didn't have to be this way, tomorrow is another day, another chance to make things right..."
"We are often more afraid than we wish to be, but we can always be braver than we expect."
"being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections."
"There are short-cuts to happiness, and dancing is one of them."
"There is an inner beauty about a woman who believes in herself, who knows she is capable of anything that she puts her mind to. There is a beauty in the strength and determination of a woman who follows her own path, who isn't thrown off by obstacles along the way. There is a beauty about a woman whose confidence comes from experiences; who knows she can fall, pick herself up, and move on."
"Progress is the activity of today and the assurance of tomorrow."
"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence."
Stop trying to figure out where you're going; just enjoy where you're at.
