I am 19 years old. I live in La Grande, OR contrary to what Virb thinks. I am a RA at Eastern Oregon University. I love to make new friends and meet people. I think pretty much everyone has something to offer. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt even if the cards are stacked against them. I am learning to love myself but it is a work-in-progress.
I write poetry and songs under the pseudonym Mike Osborne

I'll take you to the place I became
a stone, a squirrel, a man, a poet.

This place. A pond.
A Walden without
A mother. I told my teacher.
I looked at him
And said, …
