Hi! I guess I'll introduce myself in case someone actually reads this blog. I'm not going to use my full name on here, but I'll go by K. I'm a 15 year old girl and will be 16 next month. I'm a junior in high school. I have a younger brother D who is 14 and two months and a younger sister L who is 13 and a half (she was adopted from my mom's best friend who died when my sister was 3, if you were wondering about the eight month age difference). I play volleyball and basketball, but I'm not very good. One time I got to go on a 7 day backpacking trip with my friend and her dad and it was the best experience of my whole life! My dream is to be able to do that again, but they moved away and I've never had another chance. I love musical theatre. I really wish I could actually be in shows, but I just recently became interested and since then I've been in too many schools to actually join any shows because I'm either leaving soon or getting there too late. Oh well. Listening and watching on YouTube are better than nothing I guess. :)
I'm starting this blog for three reasons. First, I often want to say something about a topic because of a discussion I've had, an article I read, etc., but I can't find a place to say it. So I'm creating a place. You'll probably see a ton of random topics on here because of this, which is why this blog is "The Blog Without a Name." I don't have just one category it fits under. Second, and you don't have to read these posts if you don't want to, I need somewhere to say how I feel about stuff in my life (okay that sounds a bit dramatic, but I don't know how else to phrase it) that I can't/won't talk to my parents or friends about. My parents have enough issues of their own (not to mention that they probably wouldn't listen), and my friends would probably think I'm crazy. Also, I'm not at home right now. I won't really go into any detail about why, other than to say that I'm temporarily in foster care for the third time, but my parents are working on the plan they were given. I promise I won't make that a focus of the blog, beyond maybe a post or two and possibly a brief reference to this in other posts! So there will almost certainly be some depressed teenager posts, but I by no means actually think my life is terrible or worse than anybody else's. In fact, I'm perfectly aware that I am a lot more fortunate than most people, especially those in foster care who are there permanently unless they're adopted, or those who came from much worse homes than me. You can ignore these posts if you want. I'll do my best to make it so that it's obvious from the beginning that the post is one about something personal so you can choose to either keep reading or to ignore it. Finally, I enjoy writing and if I suddenly think of something good I might put it on here. MIGHT. I don't really like sharing my writing, even with people I know.
I guess that's all for now. I'll try to post regularly but it depends on how much homework I have as well as whether I have internet or not. Thanks to anyone who read this!

Think before you post. Will this make someone feel bad? Am I telling someone to kill/hurt themselves? Would I say this to someone's face? If you answered yes to either of the first two questions or no to the last, don't post it. If you do, it will be removed.
