About Me
My name is Rachel and I love my friends, God, and my family. A few words that would suite me are empathetic, caring, intelligent, weird, strong, and genuine. I am fearless of my individuality and thusly have no problem speaking my mind and sticking out. I have written a bunch of poems so don't be surprised if I post a bunch in a row.
I may be 16, but I see things in a way and a depth that most kids my age don't. I refuse to be indifferent to pain and try and help whoever I can. I don't hate people because I don't think it's right. Instead, I like to meet new people so I can love and appreciate them. I am a Christian and will always be because I can feel God's love when I can't even love myself. I want to spend my life helping people because when I really needed help no one was there for me; I want to give back to the world what it never gave me.
"In our deepest pain, we find out greatest purpose." -Rachel Thompson
