Your Not Alone

2. Family

My name is Latoriana Sanders, I have seven siblings all together but we don't all live in the same household. My family means the world to me and i wouldn't know what to do without them. I grew up in a household with all four of my brothers. My father is in my life but i don't live with him.

My mother is married at this time. When i was younger i was extremely shy barley talked to anyone or even opened up. I was always considered too quiet and up to something it was always funny to me.

But i was just very observant i never really knew why i was the way i was it was just me. I used to be really shy and i felt as if i tried being apart of something i couldn't because i didn't feel comfortable.

When i was about 10 years old i decided that i wanted to get me a diary to keep secrets to myself, so everyday i would write in my diary of every thought, or anything that happened in my life.

This diary was literally my best friend  this was my way of expressing myself.  I would hide this diary in places where no one could find it, I wanted everything that i would write about kept to myself i didn't even want my brothers or mother to see it.

I honestly didn't want anything i felt to be exposed and feel like i needed sympathy for writing down anything i felt it was my own way of expressing who i am day to day and sometimes things in general.
