Who is Christy and Why?

Hey I'm Christy. My story goes deep and the pain I've felt from life is too. When I see kids go through what I went through, it's heartbreaking. I see yall on the streets, some secretly wanting someone to talk to, some wasted or just pissed off. That was me not long ago and still struggle with those things (won't go into detail yet, that would take forever) today.
I know that "fight or flight" panic and all the crazy that comes with it. Growing up, I was the "bad kid" or trouble. Years of abuse and negligence has made me grow stronger and more compassionate about speaking out. I've had people go "you're a girl, you look 16 what do you know?" yeah, I'm pretty small physically. Here are some facts:

-I was abused physically as a kid and teen
-abused mentally and verbally to this day
-I keep fighting
-I've been shot at
-I've been left for dead
-locked up and kicked down by my family who constantly judge everything
-ignorance pisses me off
-was an equestrian (top 10 in the state) for 10 years. Was abused there when my instructor thought that if she beat me/screamed at me she could control me and make money off of me. She lost. I saw one of my friends die, gave my horse to a friend and left.
-took up tae kwon do and kick boxing to release anger
-was used against my will when anti depressants started getting popular as a minor
-over medicated and became severely sick
-more I'm hesitant to put here lol

I've watched too many people die and NOT deserve any of it. I have a friend in prison for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He's 24 and may get the death penalty (praying that won't happen). I'm against that. God chooses who stays and who goes, not man.

I credit Christ for saving me many times. I know, some people think it's cliche or don't believe it but I do and if you knew me, you would to. All of this inspires me and makes me stronger.
