The Start Of Something Great

*Introduction*

So my name is Annabell. I'm in eighth grade, but I go to high school. My best friends are Monique, Lillian, and Nicole and I go to them for absolutely everything. I've had hard times in my life, I've been growing up without a father in my life since I was about 7 years old when he left. Also my mom just got done fight cancer but she won. I've been in only a few real relationships. Over the latest summer of 2013 my crush at the time had asked me out, so we dated and I thought I was happy. But like a lot of guys he was just using me. One time he tried to go all the way with me and he always tried to make me do things that I wasn't comfortable doing. Well the time when he tried to make me go all the way I freaked out and came home crying because it had scared me and my only escape at the time was my blades and that's when my cutting started. After we broke up my cutting still continued and I became addicted. Before I knew it I had scars on both of my thighs. I never cut on my wrists though because I didn't want to commit suicide, I just wanted to take the stress and pain away. And that's exactly what it did. But I stopped my addiction for someone I love. Now my life is 100% better and I'm in a new relationship and I have been since September 3rd, 2013. I'm now 14 years old and I'm happier then I've ever been before. I'm in a relationship with an amazing guy named Anthony and we've been dating for over 6 months and he makes me very happy. I honestly can't see myself without him by my side ever. He's my entire universe and I stopped cutting for him and lots of my insecurities are gone because of him and I don't know how I could ever repay him for that.
