I wanted so to be normal, to be able to play outside in the hot august sun without blistering, I endured so much just to be like my school friends including temporary blindness, blisters and the scars within my mouth from biting the insides of my cheeks so people wouldnt notice my cravings. I finally embraced my uniquness when I turned 16. I figured because I have long black hair large brown eyes and lilly white skin and I cant forget about the fact I never broke a bone and my mom braggs that my nails are as strong as horses hoves, I found humor and friends in the gothic life in high school, I was at the time very original and quickly rcvd the nickname Elvira.
