(Merinda's point of view - pov)

It feels like it was just yesterday when I sat next to my window watching the snow falling down calmly while listening to Justin Bieber's new christmas album "Under The Mistletoe". Not having a single thought in my head. Just enjoying the holidays of 2011, being excited for christmas, spending time with my single-mother Casey. If only my 11-year-old me would have known to appreciate this time.
Now here I am, seven years later, almost 18 years old, my head filled with worries, my life filled with complications and problems and it does not seem like I will get a rest soon.
Everything began when I was only 14 years old and noticed how I do not blend in with others my age. I suddenly got the feeling how I might be more mature and evolved and ever since then my life is a mess. Nevertheless let us not go back that far in time because altough I have been struggling a lot in the past, the things that are about to happen now are the reason why everything is so arduous.

(Please excuse any mistakes I might make, English is not my first language and I am not trying to write a story with a perfect language, I am trying to write a story I enjoy telling, even if I might be tending to use a simple language.)
