Get to know me through my Resolutions for 2018!
I started 2017 banging on pots and pans with a party hat on at midnight on January 1st - in a residential program for my anorexia, surrounded by cautious social workers analyzing my every move, making sure I didn't fracture a bone or burn too many calories. Not the best setting to welcome in a new year, I know. Spending my senior year of high school in a hospital treatment center isn't how anyone would like to look back on their final years of adolescence, let alone me. The blood work, bi-weekly weigh-ins, and medications are definitely things I am beyond glad to leave behind in 2017.

Aria's Story
Background: I have an older brother named Chris, and a younger sister named Reagan. My parents picked our names last minute because they didn't really care about what they were going to name us. My family lives in a huge house in Texas. My dad is a doctor and my mom is a lawyer so our family is pretty much rich. My parents rarely pay attention to any of us because they never wanted us. They give us money every month so that we won't have to bother them when we need money for something. I could probably be happy about that if my life was actually good and not a living hell. My brother is 23 years old so he doesn't live with us anymore. He's really smart and he's been at Yale since he was 19. He's majoring in music. My little sister is 15 years old and she's super friendly. She's also really smart, but she doesn't act like it because she doesn't want to be judged. She's one of the most popular girls at our school and she loves to be center of attention. That's how it all starts.Complete

Jale has bounced around foster home after foster home over the last few years. Finally a senior going to graduate and about to turn 18 in a few short weeks. Can she see that there is good in life to stay and enjoy? Or will she stay focused on the only things she knows for sure, the people supposed to offer you protection and support can be the most horrible part of your life and life seems hopeless. Especially when you are focused on what happened years ago, that makes life so bad. Can new people in her life help her see it can get better? Or will she follow through with her birthday plans. *Trigger warnings in this book* I don't know what will affect everyone, but topics of abuse, death, rape, self harm, eating disorders, suicide, general mental health things and I am sure others, they are a main part of this story. Please don't read if these things will affect you.

Altered
Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.Complete
