Meet Maci. She's depressed. And anorexic and bulimic and suicidal and has anxiety. But does she care? Nah. She couldn't care less about how broken she was, inside or out. All Maci cares about are her grades, mother, cousin (and cousin's daughter,) and her two only friends, Lily and Thomas, or Tommy for short. That's basically the whole reason Maci is still alive. It is enough to keep her here... right?

Castles crumbling (Taylor Swift's little sister)
Taylor's little sister, Elizabeth, is struggling with an eating disorder. Lizzie is 15 years old and Taylor is desperate to help her. Trigger warning: this story will contain topics related to eating disorders, depression, self harm, anxiety and mental health. However, I will try to avoid mentioning numbers related to weight or calories. This is actually based on my story, but of course there's fiction too. It's my first time writing for other people to read, so any comment/advice is more than welcomed.
