So... Hello.
My name is Elizabeth Matthews. I am a writer, musician, and actress from North Carolina. I have decided to start blogging after seeing my best friend Madison Kimrey (http://functionalhumanbeing.blogspot.com) get noticed for her opinions on politics and just society in general. She has inspired me to do what I've always wanted to do and make a change in the world. While I am not interested in politics as much as Madison is, I want to speak up and start doing what I feel is right. It does not have to be politics, and i may not get as far as others, but I am determined to be heard. So here I go.
As a teenage girl I have come across far more drama than people think I do- seriously. Also facing issues with self confidence and bullying, I have met many people who have considered me their "savior" for helping them through depression and self hatred. Really what I would like to do is get my message out that you are not alone. No matter what you do, there is always a person that has dealt with the same (or similar) issue(s) that can help you through whatever it is. Depression and suicide are sensitive subjects, yes, but I am comfortable with speaking about it and helping the ones going through it.
My friend Kaylee and I have started a program called Our Princesses- a group of suicidal and depressed teenagers who just need to know people care about them and love them. I have successfully saved and inspired more than 10 people and knowing that isn't a lot is okay. I've made a difference, but I plan to make a larger one.
Now, don't worry. This blog will not be just depressing posts. I have a lot of subjects I feel very strong about and I would love it if you would join in my fight.
I love you.
