The world is cruel. It does everything it can to stop you from being successful. The same goes for society. One minute you're a star and the next you're like a forgotten dream. The world hates me. I have come to accept it. So in return, I hate the world. I'm always battling, using my words as my weapon, struggling to fight. What I have always wanted have been crushed. I live in New York City, to help put my crushed dream back together. I go to NYU to study literature to become... A writer. BOOM! That's my dream. My family has never supported it, but I continue to strive. They always say " Oh, get a REAL job" or " Get a degree in something useful". I never listen... Like ever.

I have never had a real relationship but that's because: A: I scare them off or B: because I'm caught up in school work. I'm pretty happy being single, I don't get lonely or anything. I live in an apartment above a super cheesy Chinese restaurant. To pay for college I work at a newspaper company.
