Life as a teenager isn't as simple as it looks.
well mine was simple, perfect, easy, everything was fine until I turned 16.
I had been anticipating the 16th year of my life for a very long time.
I would finally get to do so many things like go for a sleepover at my besties house.
I had envisioned it all.
Everything would be perfect.
But I thought wrong
Life as a teenager is not simple, everything seems so vivid as if it had been highlighted.
The constant rush of emotions, the heavy thoughts.
The desire you didn't want coming as a burden.
My life had changed in this year
Year Sixteen
The year I met Brandon O'Neil
