I'm Alexa, an 18-year-old woman who's recently left her home in the small town I grew up in. It was a stifling place for me - full of people who didn't understand me or my needs. So, I've packed my bags and moved to the city, where I can be myself without fear of judgment.
My family is Jewish, which has always been an important part of who I am. My mother used to make me wear these beautiful traditional dresses for holidays when I was a kid, but they made me feel like I didn't belong anywhere. Now that I'm living on my own, I've found solace in the freedom to express myself however I want.
I love spending time outdoors, especially near bodies of water - there's something about the tranquility that soothes my soul. My dog is always by my side, and we take long walks together around this lake behind my new apartment building. People often stop me when we're out, asking if they can pet him or take pictures with us. I'm not sure what it is - maybe it's his adorable little face - but he seems to have a special gift for making people smile. Even though I've only been here a few weeks, it feels like home already.
