    Hi. Wanted to introduce myself. I'm here because I don't have anyone to talk to about things like this in real life. I do talk to them about things but its only surface level stuff. I have supportive friends and family but it gets very uncomfortable for me to talk to them about "stuff", even if they are all for it. I live in NC for about a good solid 4 years now. I was in the Marines, been out for 4 years. I'm really shy to people I don't know. I tend to conform to how other people act or want me to act, I feel like I'm sort of a "fake" person sometimes. It just takes a long time for me to be myself around people. I like the outdoors but I don't revolve everything I do around it. I love music, every genre except for gospel, this thing called rap, and screamo rock that has a high possibility of making you go deaf, and I cant stand holiday music. I work with mental patients and I really enjoy it. I'm about to graduate with my human services degree. After that I would like to work on getting my CNA license and eventually get a job in a mental hospital.

    happy holidays to everyone
