To everyone

Welcome! It is a big step knowing that you need help, and an even bigger step coming on here! I am a Russian born guy, I (with my sister Ameena) was adopted in St. Petersburg Russia, on January 18th, 2009. I was born May 2nd, 2005, my sister Ameena August 1st, 2006. I came on here for help because I thought I was ugly looking. After a little while (with help from 7 Cups) I began to realize it was okay to not always fit in! I live in Colorado now and am starting to become happy again. But I also wanted to share my story with others, so they know they are not alone in feeling different and alone in the world! I highly recommend Scars To Your Beautiful by Alessia Cara, her song is so uplifting and helps with feelings of not fitting in. I hope this message inspires everyone who reads this not to give up on life! Fight for what you believe in! If your black so what? If your gay so what? If youre a man and dress like a woman so what? If youre a woman who dress like a man so what? If your lesbian so what? It does not matter what your race, sexuality, identity etc. Is! All that matters is you dont let people throw shit all over you! So, with that said I hope you never give up!
