Hi there i'm karen and i'm 21 from wales(united kingdom).I set up an account with dear cupid because I like helping people. 21 is quite a young age to be lecturing people older than myself on there relationships and the mistakes I feel there making. At the age of 21 i'm really not going to have much life experience. However in the short amount of time i've spent on this planet I have experienced hurt,pain,guilt and all other emotions associated with relationships and break ups. Due to my age I am still very naive,but I am learning that not everyone in this world has my best interests at heart and that my first few boyfriends may not be life long companions. After all you have to get through the rain to reach that rainbow right?..meaning that you have to experience some hurt before you find mr right. I'm not amazing at giving advice but I do know right from wrong and I have a big heart. I just hope that i'll be to shed some light on certain situations for fellow dear cupid users. x
