Lizard Ballet

My story starts before I was born. It starts when my mother went to the doctor's when she was pregnant with me. The doctors said, "She'll come out all wrong. She'll be a dwarf. She'll look ugly." Then a doctor started discussing abortion with my mother. But my parents said no matter what happened I would still be theirs, and so on December 29, I was born. Blue. Like, my skin was blue. I COULDNT BREATHE!!! After changing yellow and pink I was healthy and then after a few months of living in HK, we moved to the US.

I was...an extremely difficult child. I don't think I really liked men at all, I was told as a toddler I had issues when my uncle or grandfather came over. HMM. But anyways I got over it because I'm just fine around anyone now. I also remember drawing monsters in cages, not men, I just let my anger out by drawing cages. DO NOT QUESTION

When I was almost 2 my sister was born! I loved her so much. One time, a miracle happened: I was pushing her when I suddenly STOPPED. My sister went FLYING out of the carriage, but somehow a bag on the bottom SLID OUT and caught her!!!

Life was honestly incredible after that, I don't really remember much except:
At age two I liked to dance. My mom signed me up and I loved it, except I was scared of the hokey-pokey, which we did on the days when our parents would come in and watch us.
At age three I had tonsillitis. I had to have surgery, and I am not going into full detail because of privacy issues.

when I was almost 5, my youngest sister was born. I wanted to see my mom but I was a flower girl in a wedding that day. Obviously, I could go after but my sister skipped the wedding because she burst into tears.

Later that year I attended a private Catholic school, and boy were those teachers cruel. Once, during naptime, a girl fell asleep and they dumped her off her towel and stuffed her into a coat closet, where she woke up an hour later. My teacher also turned on Just Dance and we all danced but got yelled at. But the purpose was to dance??? idk.

I stayed there for a few more years. In first grade my teacher would make us "heads down im very disappointed in you" every day after recess. In second grade I became the teacher's favorite :D. and in third grade, a boy would go into the coatroom during class and steal people's snacks. It got extreme, I lent him pencils and he ATE THEM so then I moved to public schools.

Fourth grade did some adjusting, I had learned what MCAS is as I had standardized testing in private school. It was amazing, my teacher was the best. In fifth grade my teachers were still incredible. I usually shared my stuff and people were like "you have an acute case of TMK. Too much kindness" and i was like "sure lol"

Then I found imgflip! I didn't make an account, I just used it to make memes, and eventually just forgot about it.

That summer we went to Japan and Hong Kong, there was this family that was somehow on all of our flights, which I found extremely amusing. My uncle asked my mother, "Doesn't she have a phone?" my mom said not yet so my uncle got me one, which I am very grateful for.

When we got back my youngest sister started TATTLING for EVERY SINGLE MOVE I MADE. Before I knew it, I couldn't breathe, walk, or talk, or do ANYTHING without my sister finding something wrong about it. Even though on her 7th birthday I surprised her with a bunch of stuff she wanted. huh.

I try to tell them I think about them 24/7, how everything I do is for them but my sisters. Won't. Understand.

Then, a month later I activated my first Imgflip account. I was pretty confused on what's happening and I thought it was a place of toxicity. so I decided to leave, in January.

Then a few weeks later I decided to give this place another try, and sure enough, I loved it!

A little bit before that, around Thanksgiving, I was sitting alone as usual and a girl I knew from band invited me to sit with her and her friends. NOW I HAVE FRIENDS WJHFWUEBYFIEWUY

In February, I went to my friend's birthday party, and they admired how "innocent" I was. The way I rested my hands, my facial expression, my life in general... I tried being like "Um, no, I am NOT" but I realized, people change in middle school.

In March, March 13th, I started quarantine. It was horrible, but mY pReCiOuS dAnCe ClAsSeS were still going on. YAY

I turned to Imgflip as a place I could go to when I had free time. It is a place I can truly be myself. A place where no one can say every day, "You're not good enough". And that's where YOU fit in!!! I met YOU and here you are reading my story have a great day :D

the end

What Catholic School did you go to!?!? I’ve been to two different schools and both were exceptional. The one I’m going to right now is my life changer. It completely flipped me around. I’m going into 8th and I really don’t wanna leave. It’s Pre-K thru 8. Anyways, I’m sorry. At least your story seems decent so far

not really wanna say, yet I mean

No. Not like the actual school XD

I was saying it as an exclamation, not literally

YOURE CATHOLIC TOO?

You knew that, right? I pointed that out to you a long time ago
