I guess you could say im not your typical 15 year old. I mean right now im sitting in a hospital bed connected to more wires than I can count.
But as far from normal my life is, its still worth living, even when I feel otherwise.
And what always brings me back from my worst is the hope of being normal again.
"Emmie, Emmie" I jump and shake my head from my daze. I have a tendency to drift off into space sometimes.
Let me know if I should continue this book!!!
