I'm not writing this to be strong. I'm writing this because I'm tired of holding it in. I'm just a girl. A teenager. And my life isn't the perfect picture everyone thinks it is. Behind my smile are breakdowns, secrets, and nights where I cry until I can't breathe. This isn't a story. It's my life. It's every thought I was too scared to say out loud. It's the hurt I carry when no one's looking. If you've ever felt like no one understands, if you've ever broken down alone in your room at 2 a.m., then maybe my words will feel like yours too. - Tia Sen.
