Runaway Love

The Beginning

⠀⠀ I always saw the world in a different perspective than the majority of people. I pay attention to the little things in life; my beautiful surroundings, the noises I hear, and the people I see walking down the streets. I absorb everything I witness.
⠀⠀ With me being the way I am, it results in disadvantages. I have friends, who are fourteen just like myself, but I unintentionally isolate myself from them. I thought they were going to ditch at some point, but I think they have come to the conclusion that we will only be friends in school
⠀⠀ My family worries about me constantly. They worry about the fact that if I continue to act this way, I may end up alone for the rest of my life. I get questioned by them a lot on whether or not I am depressed. Everyone in my family knows that I am a good kid, but they just do not want me to make any choices that I am going to end up regretting. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀ I know that I am fine, or at least I think I am. It gets on my nerves on with how much my family tries to control my life. It is almost as if they are disappointed in who I am. They are my family and families are suppose to accept you for who you are. I cannot help but get aggravated with them.
⠀⠀ Overall, I am pretty pleased with who I am becoming as a person, but it sure does get lonely. All I do is sit in a chair, looking outside my bedroom window, thinking. If I am not thinking, I am more than likely writing about the things I observe or I am reading my favorite book, "Gone with the Wind". That is another reason on why people question whether or not I am depressed, it is because I am continually same re-reading that book. Apparently that is a sign of depression, but I just do not see what the problem is.
⠀⠀ I usually have the same routine everyday. I never see anything new when I look outside my bedroom window at night. It is usually just a dark sky with a few shooting stars every now and then. You know what they say about shooting stars, they will make your wishes come true. I don't think they work though. I wish for acceptance from my family and friends, but that never seems to come true.
⠀⠀One night changed my boring yet simple life. I was sitting in my chair in my room, watching the outside like I normally do, when all of a sudden I noticed a suspicious figure going through my backyard. He looked no older than me, and looked very on edge. Not the kind of on edge where he is angry, but the kind where something that just happened is making him stress out.
