I dread summer. All the feelings that have built up from the previous school year all get released during this hellhole of a season. All the feelings I have pent up from not talking about them. Most people's seasonal depression is around winter, mine's the opposite. So I have decided this summer I am not going to stay inside. It's all going to change this summer.

I live in Cousin's Beach, Massachusetts year-round. In an upper middle class beach front home that is payed for by my grandparents. After I was born, my dad left and my mother was barely making enough to put food on the table. So my very wealthy grandparents put money into a savings account and the deal was, when my mom got on her feet and found a good job, they would buy us a house. So my mom did, and she worked her way up the system to become the CEO of a furniture company.

My biological father is better off running because who would want a pitiful worthless douchebag of a dad anyways? And relying on my grandparents for finance is better than on the streets. My mom tries her best. And she knows that I know that. Most people that live in Cousin's only stay for the summer and go back to the town they came from for the rest of the year. We are part of the very few in Cousin's that live here all year. It has it's perks.

Right before summer began this year my grandparents decided it was time to give my mom the savings. My mom bought the house that I described previously because she thought having a pool and living by the beach would help me. I hate summer but I have to say, I'm not as miserable anymore.

My mom knows about my seasonal depression and she tries her best to help. But last summer the pills weren't enough. So she has been very careful around me and has done her best to only be happy around me. So much so that she decided to get me a puppy last month. She's a golden dachshund puppy. I named her Charlie after my favorite character from my favorite movie. The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
