Hey Diary, It's Me Ellie

My name is Eleanor Evans, but more people call me Ellie. And this, this is my diary...

Ever since I was little all I ever wanted to do was grow up, and be free. Being an adult looked like a dream come true to me, having money, being able to go out whenever you want, buying whatever you want, etc.
But I'm now at the age of 17, just about to turn 18. And I'm only just realizing how very, very wrong I was.
Growing up isn't fun and games, it's not a fairy tale or a dream come true. It's hard work, it's stress, it's making hard decisions, and it's things not going the way you wanted them to. But it's not all bad, I mean, you get to experience new things. You get to know new people, you get to move places, and you get to find love...but in my case, the love finds me.
