Hi.
I just want to explain the reasoning behind "AJ".

When I first started, I felt like it would be kind of cool to have a pen name. I felt like I could be anyone. A fresh new slate in a whole different world that seemed so glorious to me, so beautiful and new.
So, Sam named me AJ.

After that, anyone who I met has known me as AJ. And I felt really loved. I was building up a new personality, found a new passion, discovered kick ass music. I really loved it all. I still do. Joining this site is the best thing that's ever happened to me(but it's time to say goodbye...no I'm kidding). I have no regrets.

The fact that, now, I kind of want to confess my name is a real fucking shame. AJ isn't just some pen name Sam came up with. It's my personality. It's an identity. I feel that saying my real name is like saying goodbye to AJ. I really like the person AJ has become. She has her flaws, but she's made friends, sisters. Saying goodbye to AJ is saying goodbye to that. I know on here I wouldn't be known as AJ anymore if I said my real name, but I've really enjoyed my time on here as AJ.

No matter what, beyond this point, I'm AJ for life, if only to myself.
I just don't want to say goodbye.
