It's like the scene from an Lmn movie was playing out my life. Mother always warned my step brother and I about strangers. She couldn't stop preaching about it. Let's not get started on how much she bashed meeting people on the internet. That's where I met one of my best friends, Elijah.

There's this girl. She's everything I would ever want in a girlfriend. And even though I told myself I would never date again, I just can't help but be attracted to her.

My supporters hate when I date. They all want me to themselves. Every girl I put up on my Instagram, they instantly think we're dating. The girl in my past relationship got so much hate. Now, thinking about it, I feel as if that contributed to why we broke up. I mean, that couldn't of pushed anyone to cheat. That's more of a depressing situation to me. Not being accepted by your boyfriends family... Yeah, that's depressing.

About myself, I'm Jacob Perez. I'm twenty years old and I make music. I'm the lead singer in a boy band called Mindless Behavior. I have a huge fan base. I really do love my supporters. My other two band members are Elijah, my internet friend I mentioned earlier and my step brother, Mike. We all moved in together. I personally like working with them. They both are my best friends and I love them very much. They give the best advice in the world and they are always there for me when I need them.

My mother would be so proud of me. For pursuing my dreams and not procrastinating. At first, I was shy. I did care what people thought about me. But now, I don't care. I've finally learned how to accept myself, I've learned how to love myself. Self love is very important. If no one else loves you, just always remember that you love your self.

My past is not the best thing, but I'm glad everything happened. Every situation I've been in, has helped me to be the person I am today. Learning from my mistakes helped me a lot too. I never once failed, I just found a lot of ways that does not work. I remember, in high school, people used to bully me. They told me that I wouldn't become anything and that I would never make it, yet, here I am today. I didn't make my dreams a reality to prove anyone wrong, I did it because I know in my heart that this is what I want. Never let anyone come between you and your dreams.

If you want to do something, just do it. Took me a long time to realize that. To realize that I would not wake up and be where I am without working for it. Success doesn't come over night. You have to work for what you want.

I remember my motivation was me picturing the house I wanted, the car I wanted and the positive vibe I wanted in my life. That motivated me. Often times, I'd find myself picturing everything like how I wanted it to be. I'm proud to say that now, my life is exactly how I imagined it to be.

I just need someone to share it with.
