Have you ever wondered what goes through someone's mind a week before they decide to take their own life?
Here I am, nearly invisible at school, always in the background unless I become the target of hurtful laughter or comments. I don't need either, but it seems that's all people have to offer.
My story begins exactly a week before this book ends. I'm about to reveal everything that embarrasses me, everything I hide out of fear, everything I endure because the few people I trust seem to have only two responses for me.
The first is the typical:
-"Cheer up!"
Really? Why didn't I think of that before? If I got paid every time I've been told that, maybe I'd be writing this book on an iPhone 14 Pro instead of a HUAWEI Y9. But alas, most people use this "motivating" phrase to ensure nothing changes.
The second type of people try to help, but their eyes betray the pity they feel for you and their sense of superiority for not being in your shoes. It's disgusting. I can almost hear their thoughts: "Poor girl, I'm so lucky I'm not her."
I've never confirmed it, but I'm about 80% sure that's what they think. The other 20% I give as a gift because I suppose even hypocrisy deserves a reward. I hope that 20% compensates them for all they tried to do for me.
As you immerse yourself in my story, you'll uncover the darkest corners of my mind, the internal struggles we all face but few admit. I invite you to join me on this journey into the unknown, where you might find answers you didn't even know you were looking for.
