when I was in third grade, I thought I was a mermaid
i think it was because the idea of being a mermaid gave me some sort of confidence that I had never had before
i liked that
in fourth grade, I was bullied
i don't recall what for, exactly
but it took me a long time to get that confidence back
i've been bullied, i've been suicidal
i've learned how to handle it
but I want to make sure that I can be the one that you all can come to if you're feeling any negative emotions. I want to be the one that you can confide in when you can't handle it (which is completely okay). i want to be someone that you can talk to. i want to be the person who can keep you from jumping off of that ledge or cutting that beautiful body of yours.
so yeah, this entire thing was really poorly written and all over the place, but I'm so happy that I got to share my story with you all! I love you so very much, stay strong and beautiful and please take care of your amazing self!
