I've been lurking around here a bit, and I started to realize just how much I missed hanging out here. I mean, I spent like 2-3 years of my childhood here so why not? I have a lot of good memories, and its really nice to see that a lot of people I knew are still here, so I just wanted to say Happy Holidays and I hope the new year is good to you all!
I also wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to be visiting here more often and try to get back into the community
BUT before this, I think it's about time I got clean with all of you, because I wasn't exactly honest when I first joined here: (Bear with me)
------------------------------------------------------------
Well firstly, when I first joined here I think I was maybe 12 or 13, and I claimed to be a year older than I actually was in order to be taken more seriously. Secondly, NO my real name isn't Krystal, it's Jenan. I hid my identity for a variety of reasons, but as I got older I realized that the world wasn't as scary as I thought it was. You may be wondering what type of name Jenan is, and to give a very basic definition, it means Heaven in Arabic. So I should mention that I'm half middle eastern. I grew up in a very strict Muslim household, and was very religious myself growing up. It wasn't until about 2 years ago (after I met the love of my life) that I began questioning what I believed in. It took a LOT of time and researching about my own (and other) faiths when I decided to become atheist, and have been atheist for the past 2 or 3 months now. Of course my family doesn't know this yet, I don't plan to tell them until I can move out.
As for a current update on my life: I'm now a tutor in my town and plan to move to Canada with my soul mate in March, oh and I'm 18 not 19, just to clear that up.

Anywho, sorry for the long post, I hope I can catch up with everyone soon!
