Hi, New.

[Oorina]

Hello. My name is Chelsea. I just found this site. I was...hurt...a few years ago, but never really worked through it. I've been alone and taking care of myself for the most part, surviving, but I really want to start trusting people again, and not hating myself. I'm not expecting miracles or anything, but I think it will help...just knowing I have some support.
