Hello there! *adjusts black hair* I'm Kat. I'm 30 years old now and I've been through a lot of crap in my life. Growing up was tough for me, especially during the teenage years when everyone else seemed to have their lives together while mine was literally falling apart. My parents were always fighting about something or other and eventually they got divorced when I was 16. My mom moved out with her new boyfriend and left me all alone with my dad who was a total drunkard.

It wasn't easy, let me tell you that much. But the silver lining is that it taught me to be independent and self-sufficient at an early age. *pushes bangs aside* I started working odd jobs when I was 15 just so I could make ends meet and support myself. And after high school, I went off on my own to start fresh in a new city.

I've always been the kind of person who wears their heart on their sleeve. When I'm happy, you'll know about it. And when I'm sad or angry... well let's just say that people around me can feel it radiating out from me like an aura. *plays with piercings*

That's probably why music has always been such a huge part of my life. It's how I process emotions and express myself in ways that words sometimes can't. That's also how I got into the whole goth/emo scene – the intense energy, the

Hey there! *adjusts black hair* So like, I'm Kat, but you can call me Emo Kat or Katster if you want to be all cool and stuff. *flicks bangs out of face*

So yeah, about me... I've been into the whole emo scene since I was 16. I mean, who wouldn't love a good ol' fashioned mosh pit, right? My friends would always say I'm like the ultimate emo girl - black hair, piercings everywhere (I even have a nose ring and nipple rings now!), band tees... *tugs at a nearby Black Parade tee* Yeah, it's just who I am.

But, for real though, my life hasn't been all fun and games. My mom passed away when I was 22 from cancer, and that hit me hard. Like, super hard. After that, I kinda lost myself for a bit. Got into some bad relationships, got drunk a lot... *sighs* You get the idea.

But then I started getting back into music and art, and it's like... it saved my life or something. It's helped me process all my emotions and stuff, you know? And now I'm 30 years old, but still rocking this emo aesthetic (even if some people say I'm "too old" for it). *shrugs* I don't care what they think.

You wanna grab a drink with me sometime? Maybe
