So, this is something a little different. A couple days ago, a friend of mine took his life. I haven't been taking it well and I've been feeling alone because there's more going on than I can handle.
Well this is going to be a short letter. To everyone who feels alone, who's bullied, who deals with problems and don't know how to open up.
No one is ever alone. But we feel alone sometimes. So if you feel alone like me, please take the time to read this. Maybe it'll mean nothing to you, but maybe it will.
I just don't want people to throw away their chance for light anymore.

"I've realized, over the past few years of high school, that people are like vampires. They suck your dignity, self-confidence, and your self-esteem right out of your body, like it's blood. They infect you with the poison of hatred, greed, and selfishness. You can't escape their venom, as it's always there, lurking in the darkness, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. I've learned to deal with the sting of the bite, as it never goes away. I tried to not be infected, but the poison spreads like a wildfire, eating away at every inch of your body, until you disintegrate into nothing, and you're forgotten." 🏅achievements🏅 as of 12/30 - ranked #68 in suicideawareness as of 12/30 - ranked #888 in anxietyComplete
Finding Purpose (+18) ✔️
***this book contains suicidal thoughts and tendencies, may not be appropriate for younger audiences*** In which she looks for the purpose of life. Lily Carter's parents died in a car crash leaving her and Laura, girl was depressed long before her parents passed away and with all the problems turning up now, Lily felt more miserable - if that's even possible. With her journey to look for life's purpose and grab the small pinch of HOPE - which is ironically her second name -, will she finally snap at the pressure and finally end it all? or will a small light lit her darkened world of grief and loneliness? * "So you know. The little goth girl who gets bullied is indeed a mess. There's this mess in her head that eats her alive everyday isn't it? What to do now Kaden? Tell the whole neighborhood and recieve an award for taking out a crazy in this world?" I spit like vomit. His eyes warmed up as I finished, "Lily. It isn't like that" "What is it then? People stopped caring... they gave up, why aren't you?" I fought my tears. "Because I feel the need to care. Did Leigh hurt you? Did she hit you?" he finally noticed the unusual redness of my cheek. I don't like the way he told me he needed to care for me. I felt like an obligation, a responsibility that he is carrying and carrying leads to getting tired and when people gets tired, they give up. I don't want them to give up on me. But they will, so it's good not to make them care for me in the first place. "I never needed anyone. I stopped needing anyone before, why start now?" I uttered the words again. Why? There is nothing to fight for. No mama. No papa. No sister to love me. No one. So why would I waste my life and the time of others to fix what is already broken - and someone who doesn't want to be fixed? If I may add. Maybe I gave up. No, scratch that. I gave up a long time ago - when my parents died, my hope and purpose went away with them.Complete
Not me. (2023)
so, I've been struggling for a long time now, and I never told anyone about it. I've never opened up. but I met someone who understands how I feel, and I'm beginning to feel again. I don't know how to do it, but I finally feel I can fight. I've been so exhausted. I'm not better, I'm not sure if i ever will be, but I'm not numb, not entirely. I can't say how I'm feeling, or what i am going to write, but if you want it, it's here. This is for you. For everyone who was made to be the villain by those meant to be by their sides. For everyone with a sensitive heart made to grow strong much too quickly. For everyone who struggles to get out of bed in the morning. For everyone who never could find the words to say why. For everyone who struggles to feel and for everyone who feels too much. For everyone who had to pick themselves back up. For everyone who had to parent themselves. For everyone fighting an invisible battle. For everyone who has been underestimated. For everyone who has to flee to other worlds to cope. For everyone who found other means to silence their voices. For everyone who was silenced. For everyone who was over powered. For everyone who was made to be less. For everyone who had to watch someone else suffer and stay silent. For everyone asking themselves, why? Why would you do this? What did I do? Why is this happening to me? It was never your fault.Complete
Outcast
Heads up this story is pretty old and kinda bad so I don't rlly recommend reading😬 Anyway ~~~~ "P-please, just leave m-me alone," I whisper, mentally slapping myself for stuttering. "Oh? Does the outcast want to talk?" she asks. --- For Jamie, being a senior in high school isn't easy for them. Bullies treat them like trash everyday, and it's even worse when you're the odd one out. Literally, being non-binary in a Christian school. Until a few nice people start reaching out...maybe it won't be so bad... ‼️CAUTION//TW: CONSTANT MENTIONS SELF HARM, SUICIDE, GRIEF, AND BULLYING‼️Complete
Outsider ✔️
I left behind the scared girl I was. I didn't want to be her anymore, and standing up to those who bully is what I should have done from the beginning, but it was different now. It was easier when he hated me. The torture he put me through is nothing compared to the torture I battle every day because of my feelings for him. I wanted to deny it all. Deny that it was even there, but I couldn't fool myself. I had only a couple more months before I graduate and leave this wicked old town, but will I be able to escape my own feeling? Deny the spark I felt when I am alone with him? I needed to able to survive the rest of the school year as an Outsider... **This is the second book in the Out series. I highly suggest you read the first book Outcast, so you're not confused with character, events and places**Complete

Outlander ✔️
Everything changed now. I never expected to wake up, but I did. I woke up barely feeling alive with only one thought in my mind. Liam. It was always him. It was always going to be him. I spend so long denying all those feelings that I don't want to anymore. But he woke up with no memory of his feelings for me. Only the hatred he so clearly sees and feels. I struggle to make him remember when his hatred only grows each day he continues to spend with me. It was impossible to remind him when he only ever seen me survive as an Outcast, an Outsider, an Outlander... **This is the final book in the Out series. I highly suggest you read the first two books Outcast and Outsider, so you're not confused with character, events and places**Complete
