Hello.
My name is Courtney. I am a 17-year-old female and a junior in my high school in Louisiana. While most of my friends plan on escaping Louisiana after graduation, I'm staying indefinitely. I work at my city's library after school and on Saturdays with one of my good friends. Most people think shelving books and telling people to shutup all the time is boring. I disagree. I enjoy my work more than most teenagers I know. I also enjoy reading. I read constantly. I write less than I read, but I still write a lot. I don't post everything on here that I write. Some of my writing is just for my own enjoyment and nobody else's. No offense. I also have a tendency to get depressed... The only decent poetry I can write is usually written when I'm in one of my moods. It sucks, but it's me.
I'm also having to keep a blog for my English AP class this semester..feel free to check it out.. http://complexcourtneyy.blogspot.com
Ciao.
"The truth about childhood is stored up in our body and lives in the depth of our soul. Our intellect can be deceived, our feelings can be numbed and manipulated, our perception shamed and confused, our bodies tricked with medication. But our soul never forgets. And because we are one, one whole soul in one body, someday our body will present its bill."
-Alice Miller
If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is a part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.
-Herman Hesse
