Read through it!!! Good Story Erin!!! Our experiences are the ones that makes us very unique and special!!!
Thanks.

I agree about life. Even the bad experiences have helped shape me into who I am, I have to admit.

You seem like a great girl Tanuki-dono, one of those kind of persons that are so rare these days.
I read through your "bad habits list", he he, it was funny!!
I also interrupt people and I also chew my fingernails.
Your sleeping position is very funny!!
Thanks.

It's a horrible habit to interrupt people. I'm really not trying to be rude. It's something I'm working on.

Glad I'm not alone, though. And my sleeping position is a constant source of embarassment...especially when I fall asleep in front of friends. XD

That sucks, I've also some type of dermatitis, and usually it's not that bad, but sometimes it looks pretty bad.
It used be be a lot worse some years ago at high school, I also had pimples, and people often asked me what was wrong with my face...
Now I use a special cream and shampoo that prevents my skin to become dry, so yeah, I'm looking pretty good now.

But it was hell when I was a teenager, had low self esteem and all.
Ugh. The questions, the questions! Boy, do I know where you're coming from!
"Are you diseased?"
"No."
"Is it contagious?"
"No."
" Ew!"
"What?"
" It is Herpes? An STD?"
"..."
Etc, etc, so on and so forth.
People can be really thoughtless, you know? And it's rough being a teenager and having to deal with it. Plus, in high school, I had all the allergies flare up (side-effects from some medicines caused hypersensitivity) and the Celiac thing.

So, like you, I had a few issues creep up on me in high school. It's a bad feeling.
You use special shampoos, too?

I go to health stores to buy natural products that won't irritate me. (though I have to read labels regardless)

I have a cream onhand for "emergencies"... Luckily, my skin is doing really well now. It gets alot better in the summer. Glad that you're looking good now, though.

It's a nice feeling.

Yeah, I mean, I have a house, a loving family, caring friends, I get to eat food everyday, there is no reason in the world that I could be unhappy!!!
Yes, I'm inspired by optimism! I'm happy now, too, so there is no place for sadness!
