Sherrie Keller

Ello Sherrie is the name, 22 is the age. Wow, it took me two years to change this! Anyway, a little about me. The first thing a person should know about me, is that I am a very spiritual person, not religious. I enjoy religious debate and conversation, but I do not enjoy beliefs being put upon me. I have a very broad belief system of my own and it is too much to explain, however anyone who is interested, you are encouraged to ask! Since I graduated in 2005 (speaking of which I did not attend my graduation ceremony because I did not feel the need to share such a day with so many people who didn't know me and who also treated me like shit throughout my high school career) my life has been a whirlwind of hate, struggle, love, sacrifice, and pain. In December 2008, I found freedom in Anna, IL. Two hours away from my hometown, Belleville, IL. Even when I miss Belleville, and go back for visiting, it's not the same. I don't think it ever will be.





I've been homeless and lost many times. I've given my life to people who I thought were my best friends, only to get back stabbed, turned on, and lied to by them. I've struggled with anxiety and depression since I can remember. Being here has helped ALOT, but it's still there and it's still a daily struggle with me. Along with my weight. There is a person on the inside of me, just dying to get out...the real me. The me that only people can see when they get to know me. The best way to explain it, it's like my weight is my lamp shade, it's preventing me from shining as bright as I know I can. I know that people come in all shapes and sizes, and I realize this, but as many times as I have been beaten down because of it, it hurts. I am also in the early stages of diabetes and working on training myself to eat healthier and live a better lifestyle. It's tough. Jun 2009 I discovered an ovarian cyst on left ovary, and it has been a HUGE wake up call to get very much in the swing of things.



I have many goals and many dreams and the biggest one is my health. It's becoming an obsession, but in a good and healthy way too. The longest I have lived anywhere since high school has been in my very own apartment, which I cannot deny every single day how proud I am of myself and my wonderful husband Nick, that we have made it, and we are here. Despite what anyone thought or believed <3 I am not sure of my career path yet, but what I do know, and feel, is that it will involve creativity and providing help for others. I love animals and children, I may some day have a career helping one or the other, or both!





I love hot tea, but not as much as I LOVE music. I know everyone says that, and many people are passionate about whatever music that they too love. There's just something healing and beautiful about the rhythm and melodies that many artists capture our attention with. Hopefully, soon I will know how to play the guitar well enough to share it with people :) For some reason, the Red Hot Chili Peppers are my motivation and main addiction to music! Love love love, Anthony <3
