I know it's not real.
But does it have to be for it to go on?
I just want peace in all my hurts.
It's not too much to ask for.
When I have to let go, I will.
But until then...
I want to be loved.

Love, Grace.✔️
I figured that since I was going to die, I should write a letter to my parents. But in the event that I survive, I didn't want to be branded as a curse. But I can't live. I just can't. I bet you're wondering why I would want to commit suicide. Why would this seventeen year old, smart, pretty girl want to commit suicide? ***** The reason is simple- I made some bad decisions. Decisions that later bit me in the butt.The first thing I remember of being a child, and my first ever memory is a bitter one. ***** And without a second thought, I take a swig of the opened beer by my side and throw some pills into my mouth. I swallow. I stare at the clock and wait. Nothing changes. No wobbly feelings, no stomach ache, no nothing. ****** My name is Chikasinma Grace Wilson and this is my story. °•° This is a Nigerian girl's journal on her life and all the bad decisions that worsened her depression.Complete
