Origins
Raechuul; I come from a long line of French countrymen. I was born in the campagne, but I rebelled and made my way into the city by the time I was a teen. Swept up into an urban life, I was immediately faced by the harsh reality of the world. I was alone and cold in a big town, and as a mechanism of survival, I conformed to society.
Down to the depths of reality, I was forced to grow up in too little time. I was compared to the "lolycéenne", the image that singer/actress Vanessa Paradis was dealing with around the same age. A magazine clipping of a girl of 14, dressed in a sultry woman's outfit blew through the frigid Paris wind. It reminds me of myself, how I was back in those days, though there's no going back to fix it.
At times it can break you down like nothing else can, growing up too soon. The shards of glass which are your soul are thrown out to a place where no one gives a damn. Once you ruin yourself, no one wants you.
In this cruel world, you damn well better keep yourself together.
Rachel; I'll admit, you won't find normal here. What sets me apart from everyone else is my brain. That isn't meant to be a brag, no "I'm smarter than Einstein," here. I know exactly what I lack in. The part my brain plays is much greater than sheer intelligence. I have so many passions and interests, and I love it. I never stop thinking. I'm not a supermodel, since I could stand to lose a few pounds, but I will tell you this. Nothing can tear me away from who, or what, I love.
I grew up in no wonder city, but I grew to love it. It's where I was born and raised, and it contours to who I am today. You could say it shaped some of who I am, I suppose. The open mindset, art, and music flowing through everyone's veins is worth more than gold.
My life hasn't been anything astounding thus far, but it's my goals and dreams that set me far beyond the rest.
