I was born in Albuquerque, NM back in 1985. I grew up in Wyoming jumping from foster home to adoptive home to youth corrections and ended up homeless when I was 18. I've seen both sides of the income scale in my short life and much prefer where I'm at to the nonsense that goes on in the circles of upper class society.

Since I've been homeless, I've worked for 'temp' agencies and 'spot-jobs' doing whatever work I can get. I love traveling the continental US, reading, writing and listening to music. I've currently got two dogs; Liwanu is an 13 month old pit bull mix, Tonks is a 4 month old American Pit Bull Terrier so the BSL currently being pushed hits home for me.

I watched the kids I lived with go through alcoholism or addiction and thought I'd never hit that point. The January after I turned eighteen, I finally gave up on school. I had already done time for battery and found myself in a foster home I couldn't stand. I wanted to graduate High School but didn't have the support system to follow through. Between the emotional/physical abuse, neglect and lies I found myself needing t...
