My name is Michelle. I was born in a small town an hour away from San Diego. My parents moved to Modesto when I was three weeks old and have lived here ever since. I am the oldest child. I am 17, about to graduate high school in one month. I am one of four kids. I have a 15 year old sister and two brothers, 13 and 11. They're all my half siblings, but they don't know it. My mother was with a 30 something year old man when she was 19 and ended up with me. She left him because he was involved in mexican gangs. I didn't find this out until I was 12. I have yet to see how he looks. He died when I was 7. My mom doesn't have any pictures of him. I always wonder what he looks like it drives me crazy. When my mom was pregnant she got with my now dad. He's been there since before I was born. Suddenly he's become so religious as of 4 years ago, I can't stand it. He makes us go to church and participate in some church things.
I've never been good socializing with people. I always tend to have one friend and stick with that person when in crowds and not talk to anyone else. People annoy me a lot. I've been reading The Catcher in the Rye and I love it. I can relate to him on a lot of things.
I have straight As this year in school. I'm not sure on what I want to do with my life. But I'm going to go to be a nurse. If I don't like it I'm going to have to suck it up. I didn't apply to any colleges when I was supposed to do now I have to go to a junior college. I'm terrified of growing up. Too much responsibility and hard work for the rest of my life once I graduate.
Some might say this is ignorant, but I've already met the love of my life. I saw him when I was a freshman and he was a sophomore. I started talking to him when I was a sophomore. Things got complicated. I absolutely hate and do not trust girls because of this complication. But he and I are fine now. I've been with him for a year and four months. He gets me. I can be myself around him and I love that. We both plan on being with each other forever. I love that he's scared of loosing me.
I like riding bikes, my boyfriend made me a fixed gear, but I hardly get to ride it because my parents are so strict.
I love art and drawing. But I don't think I'm as good as people say I am. There are a million people that are far better than me. I love writing. I started to write this "book" two years ago, but got too lazy to finish. It wouldn't have been good anyway. I'm an extremely lazy person when I want to be. I don't eat a lot because I'm picky with food. I don't like a lot of different kinds of food like a lot of people. I'm not normal. I have no social life. Well there you have it, a short introduction of myself.

I'm just a 17 year old girl living in California. Always awkward. Don't like being around people much. Love drawing and writing. This will be my own little diary.

It seems to me that you're more sociable than you think, you just don't feel as though you can be yourself around other people, and so feel awkward, perhaps, in social situations. It's good that you have your boyfriend that you can be yourself around though, you need someone around who understands you so that you can begin to understand yourself. I'm time, you'll become truly confident with yourself, and when you are, you'll realise that most people will accept you for who you are - and will love you for it - you just need to be ready to show them.
@tgriffths42 I do feel really awkward around people. Hopefully I'll grow out of it like you said. And my boyfriend does help a lot, I love being around him because I can open up to him. You're really goood at giving advice. (:
