So weird title right? I was told the more I reveal about myself, the more trust I gain. So cool, that's what I'm going to do.

My 6 facts:
1. I grew up in a full German Baptist family. German was my first language, but now I barely know any of it. My father's parents came directly from Germany and my grandpa's English is slowly disappearing as he gets older. On my mother's side, both Grandparents were born in the U.S. I don't remember my grandfather, he was murdered when I was just a baby. My grandmother passed away five years ago from heartbreak.
2. I am the youngest in my family. My older sister lives in the spot and loves attention. I grew up in her shadow, afraid to step out of my own. She abused me. I have scars from where she would beat my head against the floor. I remember one time where she duct taped me to a pole, naked, in the front yard and left me there for three hours, until my parents came home.
3. I attend a private Christian school, and I'm in my senior year. Previously, went to a very large public school, but I left after being bullied for years to a point of suicide. The attempts never worked. My best friend drew my interest to the school I go to now. She's always been there to support me in everything that I do, even when no one else would.
4. My family didn't support my art career until this last year. My mother thinks Anime is the root of evil, and believed that my Manic Depression was caused by it. I've only had one true friend that believed in me and helped me along. My parents are never satisfied, they think that everything that I do is, 'not my best'. They do not understand.
5. I have many interests. When ever I find a book, movie, or game that I like, I will obsess over it and try to learn everything I can about it. It's unhealthy, and it can damage relationships. I've learned that first hand.
6. My favorite colour is red.
Sorry if this seems really down. It's me, and I can't change it. But, I can use these things to make me stronger. Which is what I do. God gives us situations to help us grow. James 1:2-4 'Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.'
Art has always been a sort of venting for me. I've never been good with speaking how I feel, and sometimes...words just aren't enough.
