When I was 15 I became deeply depressed. I asked myself the question "Who am I?" I realized that I am nobody. I'm not smart. I'm not pretty. I'm not religious. I don't sing well. I don't play any instruments. I don't do any sports. I'm not slutty or modest. I'm not a nerd or a jock, a prep or an emo. I just am. I realized that I had no reason to live.
Everyone else had someone or something. They had a loving family, a loving boyfriend, a religion that made everything better, a career path, something they loved. I had nothing.
That's how my journey began. My realization that I am nothing. I started cutting myself. Then I went to school and tried to fit in. I tried each crowd one by one. None of them accepted me. Again, I was nobody.
Then I finally tried one last group. The Christian group. I always hated religions. They make you do stupid things for no reason. But I never knew that I would find my first real friend that day. That day was the day things started to change. Not noticeably at first. No, it was a slow change. This is how it went. This is my story.
