I'm just a girl who is willing to share her story with everyone. I've been through a lot in my lifetime, and have been told numerous times I should write a book. So, I took the advice to heart. The working title of the book is COURAGE, and the chapters can be read here one by one as I get them finished. It is a fictional story, but all based on actual events that have taken place in my life.
Also, you can view my artwork under my other name: Avengia. BIOI am also a songwriter, and write poetry occasionally. Feel free to read my lyrics, but PLEASE, do not attempt to use them for yourself in any way. All of my lyrics are officially copywritten, and you will be persecuted by the law if you steal them, or change them and use them for yourself.

This is so very touching! I thought that since I had never been in a foster home, this wouldn't effect me as much as yesterday's...I was wrong! Many tears! Excellent work!!! Know this, I am here walking with you!!! KUDOS!

((Sniffs and wipes tear soaked face before beginning)) Gut Wrenching, Utterly moving!! I grew up in foster care with my older sister, so this story touched me in a very personal place. You have so eloquently touched on how being separated from parents (and/or other family members) affects the psyche of a young child. How clearly I recall that constant feeling of not belonging and my fundamental lack of entitlement, which has lingered to some extent into adulthood. I truly hope that you find sharing this story to be a cathartic experience. The only way to heal this kind of pain is to let go. Although this often requires great strength, anyone that endures and survives a childhood of abuse or neglect has already exhibited undeniable strength of spirit. Looking forward to your next installment with tissues at the ready, of course! Hugs, hugs and more hugs in the meantime. (((Purrrs))) =^..^=

Another amazing piece. My local high school has 'one' guidance counselor, mainly for pursuing education goals. Four hundred high students grades 9-12 total. I've always said we should have a licensed psychologist teach classes just like we teach history, math, science, and computers. Big VOTE not just for your writing skills, but for shedding much needed open light on this subject.

You do such a terrific job of telling this story. I too was a foster child, and can relate to so much of what you've described here. I had tears in my eyes as I read about the unwrapping of the presents. Your telling of this shows an integrity and beauty that you should be proud of.
