I started this book when I was 15. My grammar was pathetic.
Reading these now, I feel pathetic.
In case some of you realise how pathetic these are too, know that none of us can be perfect.
But I won't remove them because this is a reminder of who I was, what I went through and how I survived.

THEY SAY ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER. FONDER OF WHAT? OF WHOM? THE PEOPLE WHO SAY SHIT BEHIND YOUR BACKS AND DON'T EVEN CARE IF YOU'VE HEARD THEM. FONDER OF THE PEOPLE WHO WANT YOU TO CALL THEM YOUR FRIEND? I DON'T WANT YOU. BECAUSE ITS PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO LET ME DOWN. WHO MADE ME THE WAY I AM.

SO NO, YOUR ABSENCE DOES NOT MAKE MY HEART FOND,

IT MAKES MY HEART FUCKING LEAP WITH JOY.
