My name is Matryoshka, and i'm 14. I was born in Russia, and I do speak Russian, although I grew up with in America.

I lived in an abusive home for five years after my dad passed away, and then as soon as I met my brother (he was 21 at the time) moved in with him.

My brother basically raised me, and my mother is currently trying to make amends with me, but I won't call her mom. (She didn't raise me, my brother's boyfriend did.)

I have a six year old sister named Sasha.

And I love writing, dancing, singing, and goofing off with my friends.

I DO NOT WHATSOEVER LIKE chocolate.

I am NOT that girl,

The one that is super popular.

The one that is rich.

The one obsessed with Twilight.
The one that will lie to get her way.
The one that doesn't care about your feelings.
The one that wears her Team Edward or Team Jacob shirt proudly.
The one that has a new boyfriend every week.

The one that likes Justin Bieber/One Direction

The one that hates her life because she wears size-two jeans.
The one that would cry over a boy.
The one that will give up because she broke a nail.
The one that started wearing makeup at nine years old.

BUT

I am that girl,
The one who likes books more than boys.
The one who pretends not to be sad, just to make others happy.
The one who reads and writes to escape.
The one who just wants to help.
The one that really wants to make a difference.
The one that sticks to her values.
The one that doesn't look at race or homosexuality.
The one that cries when she feels alone and helpless; it only shows she's strong.
The one that knows she's beautiful, no matter what others say.
The one that refuses to believe that this is it.
The one that doesn't care if she eats too many cinnamon buns...they taste good.
The one that people like, because she's crazy.

The one who LOVES rock music.
The one that will do anything to make a better tomorrow.
The one who won't give in.
The one who won't give up.

I am the girl that people look through when I say something. I am the girl that spends most of her free time reading, writing, or doing other activities that most teenagers wouldn't call normal. I am the girl that people call weird, and a freak either behind my back or to my face. I am the girl that doesn't spend all her time on MySpace and Facebook or talking to a girlfriend on a cellphone or regular phone. I am the girl that hasn't been asked out in 2 years. I am the girl that has stopped to smell the flowers and jump and splash in the rain.

But I am also the girl who knows and is proud to be who she is, doesn't care if people call her weird (it's a compliment), who loves reading and writing and doing the things that no one seems to have the time to do any more, who can express herself better with words than with words, and knows the importance of the little things.

Copy and paste this onto your account, and add your name to the list, if you are anything like me, so the girls who are different and unique can know in their weakest time that they are unique but not alone: IxLOVExALOISxTRANCYx, Matryoshka Monster
