#justwriteit Alex was a young girl, then the world broke her down and it gobbled down all of her confidence and just left a 13 year old girl who loved to deeply, who forgave to much, and a 13 year old girl who hated herself. She knew that there were people with more screwed up lives than hers so she didn't bother complaining or telling anyone about it. Alex was insecure and she held up a fake smile for the world to see. She could laugh and smile all day, and talk and be happy. But when she got home everyday after school she would just put in head phones and listen to songs that explained her life. She couldn't or wouldn't try to talk to her other family members, but she never ignored them. She had a nice house, nice clothes, nice everything. But she felt that she would rather have nothing and a family who loves her than a family who picks favorites and who doesn't ever really sit down and have an actual family dinner. Or a family who never decorated or even set up holiday decorations.
