Who am I?

Hey,

Someone asked me recently a very simple question: "Who are you?". I was surprised that I didn't know how to answer. It made me think about it... This is quite personal but I feel like this site is like a family, if I can share what I write (I consider it quite personal), then I'm not afraid of sharing my thoughts.

I am Josh, I'm 14 years old. I'm a girl, Josh is the name that I would have if I was born a boy. I love the name "Josh", so, that's why I use it a lot to define myself. I'm a talkative person, but I'm a very introspective person. God! This is so weird. Telling you this while I can't even talk about mt feelings to my family or even my friends. I guess I can't live with people. I mean, I just need to be alone. Why? Maybe because people tire me and disappoint me...so much. Writing helps me a lot. I write since I was... 6 years old I think? I learned how to write at 4 years old, and since then I never stopped. I even found some stories of 5-years-old-me with drawings illustrating it, and lots of typos XD. I think that expressing my feelings in some way relieves me and helps me survive in this so unfair world. I always write for myself, but it wasn't enough and I always ended blank, with no-ideas, it was horrible. Recently, I decide, after a lot of overthinking sharing what I write. I prefer this community to Wattpad because Wattpad is so huge and here, it feels more like a family. So yeah...  I will NEVER stop writing. Don't worry about that.

I am unique. In good and bad ways. I am the child of a French woman and a man that was never in my life. I was born in Chile, in a community of what people like to call 'elite'. My grand-mother being a therapist and my mother a successful pianist. Us three living with our 'sisters' and 'brothers'. Our community uniting different kinds of people from different social classes etc. All of us living in the same place (We were 20 people approx). And my grand-mother being the founder and the director. Yep. Some people were ex-alcoholics, others were ex-drug-consumers, others were intellectual with a ty life, all trying to start from scratch and to be better people with the help of my grandmother. Of course, I was bullied by a girl older than me and her brother, why? Because she was in love with me (duh, classic) and I was too LOL. What a particularly normal childhood, you say?! Don't worry, I'm only telling the annoying side of my perfect childhood. I was a child that loved: writing, drawing, looking at the sky, the shapes of the clouds, getting dirty with earth, climbing trees, exploring the forest near my house, living...

Now? Who am I? Well, I don't know. I can put some etiquettes to myself: #teen #emo #writer #musician #geek... But it doesn't describe me at all. I think that being a teenager is kind of discovering who we are, right? 

Anyways, it feels good writing this. Don't hesitate to message me or comment on this, I love talking about anecdotes, thoughts, politics, etc...

This is it. I just wanted you to know me a bit more. Ok, Bye. *handwave*
