(Teen years)
I sat in my room with my headphones on. My music blaring. That was how I shut out the outside world. "If I couldn't hear it, I couldn't be bothered," I thought. I had a book in hand and my homework was piled up next to me on my bed.
That was how I escaped. I just distracted myself from my problems and put more stuff in front of me so I wouldn't have to face it......any of it. And it worked out for me. I would "wing it" and face the problem when it arose.
I went through a series of depression after my parents deaths. Having no other family left and going through it all alone just made me fall deeper and deeper into the darkness. I looked okay but wasn't. I kept my grades up and kept everything else okay but I was not.
I was constantly thinking about that one night and how it would have been different if I helped. What I could've done. I fell so deep into my own thoughts that I blamed myself for everything, even though I didn't do anything and had no control.
I changed after it all. I became a totally different person. My taste in everything changed. Including music, wardrobe, and personality. I was no longer the bright, bubbly girl I once was. The darkness consumed every aspect of my life and changed it in some way.
But I had light in the darkness: Joe, Iris, and Barry. Barry was going through similar things so we helped each other, Joe was my father figure, and Iris was like a sister to me. My bad thoughts and feelings slowly faded away, but I knew they weren't gone. Just in the back of my mind.
I started to open up again and I finally had my life under control. Steady job, life, family.......until I get another curveball thrown at me: I got struck by lightning.
