When I was 18; A real, true story

this book is a true story. a sad, happy, devastating and angry story, though a true one none the less.

the situations, experiences and feelings mentioned in this book did, in fact, happen to me.

i'm writing this because i feel as though i have been through things that people can relate too, especially if they can't talk about it.

some may not agree with what i say or how i handled something. Just know though, that i do not care, as these experiences have already happened; and i cannot and would not change how things panned out.

there are some chapters based on situations i was put in, some based wholly on people and others are about things i've realized this year. some chapters are super long and others are super short.

there are some serious topics that are talked about in this book that i will now disclose:
acts of self harm
thoughts of self harm and suicide
sexual assault
depression
anxiety
