Storytelling

Hi. This is my first ever post on this app. I know it might seem strange, but I've never done this whole, I'm on social media thing before. You see, it's sort of been impossible for me to do so. I was born in the Beta, as in the illegal genetic modification institution that was supposed to have been shut down years ago. I know, you're probably thinking, how could I have possibly survived the tests, the chemicals, the riots. But, I did, so, here I am, and I'm making a blog post. Geez who am I. Anyways, back to Beta. It was umm rough. I only remember little things, and they're like the most insignificant pieces of info ever. Like that the guy who used to bring the assistant head scientist coffee's name was Neri. And that when I would get really upset, they'd give me this liquid, and I immediately calmed down. I can't remember anything about the liquid that's actually useful though. And, due to this, when the government came to question me for the trial, I just added to the confusion instead of helping. They still won the case though, I think. But I also went into a hospital induced coma around this time, so I don't really remember. Anyways, it's almost time for me to eat now - meal 1230 is ready and waiting. I know some people don't support the GMO foods, but I'm allergic to the organic stuff. So this is it. Anyways, guess this is goodbye for now, so...uh...bye!

I walked into school the morning after getting back from the hospital. I'd posted my first blog post the night before, and it had gotten a lot more attention than I thought. Apparently, people are really interested in the fact that the only person to ever survive the Beta was a 14-year-old girl. I'm not gonna say that I'm not like other girls and all that stuff. Because the truth is, I'm exactly like other girls. Not to mention the fact that I made a blog post. Like I think I might've lost 4,000,000 cool points for that one. But, regardless, my life definitely change last night, and I can't tell if it was for better or for worse. Sure, the most popular girls in school were all like, "Hey girl! What's up?" But, so were the boys, and attention from dudes is the LAST thing I want. I mean, the whole reason I decided to make my post on Frind was that I'm supposed to be all like 'I came out and, now I'm a liberal queer girl blogger,' right? It wasn't like I had anyone to come out to anyways, but like at least my parents appreciated it. Or I guess my foster family. But that's like the least of my worries, so like, yeah. Maybe, I'll go back to Frind tonight and make another post. People on that app are really curious about the Beta. But, the questions were mostly respectful, so that was good I guess, right? Dang, I have no idea what I'm doing.

Hey guys. Thanks for all the support on my last post. You guys had a lot of questions, so, I'm gonna try and answer some tonight. Since I was born in the Beta, I don't have live parents. The Beta was a genetic institution that engineered the "perfect" person by choosing their exact chromosomes. Everything from my gender to my eye color was specifically planned and chosen. No one really knows how or why they chose the specific traits they did, but, they did. It does kind of suck to be a symbol of "perfection." I mean, everyone's idea of the perfect person is different! I definitely don't see myself as perfect, and I never will. But, I guess some random scientists in Toronto did because here I am. I am grateful to be here on Earth, but I feel like the fact I was created is just sort of off. Like, this takes away those natural traits of biodiversity and chance. It almost feels like we have too much power, and we're using it to manipulate systems that didn't need changing. I feel like the universe destined everyone's genes to be the way they were, and we shouldn't change that. But maybe it's for the greater good, and I'm probably only a small piece of the puzzle. I should probably get back to the things I do know because you probably aren't reading this to watch me speculate. I know who I am, and I know I'm a girl, aged 14. I'm not going to describe what I look like, but, you can probably find me on the internet or whatever. I mean, that's where we are now, right? Anyways, I go to Highschool, and I mostly keep to myself. I like to read, and I like to think. Not just like, what outfit should I wear or whatever, but I like Philosophy. But sometimes I have to ground myself, cause like, Philosophy can get a little intense and sometimes really pessimistic. But, that's just my opinion. But, I really do love it. Also, I mentioned my foster family before this. They're awesome people, and they're basically my parents. I think they're in the process of adoption, but it's sort of hard to adopt someone who doesn't have a biological family. You'd think it'd be easier, but it's really not. I love them though, and they accept me for who I am. Same as you guys! I know I already said this, but, I honestly never expected to get so much attention from this post. And it's mostly curious people asking pretty positive questions. So maybe I'll keep doing this, I hope I can at least. I guess I'll be back tomorrow if you want me to. See you guys!

It's been 10 years. A truly insane decade. I feel like I've learned so much about myself, and who I'm supposed to be. Ik I'm a cliche, but it's true, so...Anyways, I'm about to do my daily post, and I'm really excited. And proud. This was like a whole new life for me. I started writing to idk feel better about myself, but it opened me up to a whole new world of people out there, all expressing themselves and learning about others. I got my first book deal, a book about a girl like me - a girl who's exactly like other girls, hehe. Geez, I just said hehe...I'm tired. Anywho, I got my deal and was published, and the response was crazy. The book literally sold out first day, and after my first book tour, Universal reached out and asked if they could create a movie out of it! I said yes, and then suddenly there I was, sitting in a movie theatre, watching my creation on a screen. The movie won multiple Oscars, including best picture, and best leading actress. And, about that leading actress, her name was Alex. Alex Mesne. When we first met, I think I died a little inside. Because she was talented, smart, and beautiful, a triple threat. She loves to embarrass me by telling the story, and since it's already on the internet, I'm not telling it again. It's a "really great story" as she puts it. (I don't really agree, but you probably could've guessed) Now, I live with Alex, and we live in Savannah, Georgia. I know it's kind of obscure, but I love it here, and it's so beautiful. Anyways, I'm going to go post now, so I guess this is goodbye.
