Even when I was a child, I always wanted to be older. I realised just in time that it's a mistake and to enjoy my youth while I had it.

They are called 'Emos' now, and before that they were 'Goths.' They didn't have a name for it when I was one, but I was that black-wearing teenager and yes, I wore a little eyeliner.

My favorite color is purple. I have a huge velvet purple comforter on my bed.

I have been through two wars in my 24 years, and I know what it's like to be without anything, to see the bombs flying above your head.
