Why are you here? Do you perhaps like books? Or reading? Or maybe you're interested in my story? Maybe not. There are some people that are, but if you are, then I am more than obliged to tell you about it.
My book is a sad one, indeed, but it is also full of wonderful lessons that I've learned- Wait hold on! Don't go! This book won't be as cliché as all the others, I promise you.
All those other stories with those wonderful, beautiful girls that begin one way, learn tough life lessons while defeating the bad guy, then come back out as changed women. My story is not like that. For one, I was just a 12-year-old girl when my real story began. I also, surprisingly, wasn't a beautiful princess hoping for freedom, I was a seventh grader that was beginning to give up on freedom.
As a young girl, I didn't have much confidence in myself, and that is was held me down, and grew stronger as it convinced me of things I was also unsure of. My younger self was confused, alone, hopeless and self-doubting, without even knowing it, but she was also pure, talented and beautiful inside and out, but she never had time to think about her strengths, because she had also found a humbleness in herself, that grew, and wouldn't allow it.
Her dark traits eventually became stronger, and started rumours in her head. "You know you can't do that," they would chide. "You don't have the strength! Think of all the other times you messed up. Don't let it happen again!" All of these thoughts would continue on, and so her dark traits would become stronger and– Oh! I'm so sorry, I'm rambling again, aren't I?
It must've seemed weird to you while I was talking about my younger self in third person, but it's just that whenever I think of my younger self, it doesn't seem right to call it, well, "myself" because it just wasn't me. Sometimes, however, I find it in me to believe that me, in my seventh-grader self, was just me before I broke out of my shell, and in a way, it was.
To be honest, I know that my dark traits still live inside me, but the difference between me and my youth: I know how to control those dark traits now.
Oh, you don't know who I am yet, do you? I'm sorry. My name is Amelia Levy, and if you wish to know my story, continue on.
