Robyn's POV "Why can't I be perfect?" I screamed, my voice hoarse. "Why can't I stop the pain?" I stared into the empty room that once held the key to my happiness. "I try so hard" "Why did she leave me?" I walked into the bathroom. "It's my fault" I opened the cabinet, I caught a wisp of my reflection in the mirror. Broken. Pathetic. Fat. "Why me?" I reached to the back of the shelf, my fingers feeling for the packet with a sick sort of hunger. "Why?" I whispered popping the multicoloured tablets out the silver foil. One for sorrow Two for joy Three for a girl and Four for a boy Five for silver Six for gold Seven is a secret never to be told Eight is a wish And Nine is a kiss Ten is a bird you must not miss The foil packet slipped through my fingers and hit the floor. The children's rhyme ran through my head as I counted the tablets out. Finally the pain can end. I will be alone again.

*PUBLISHED as 'Tired of Being Tired, Sick of Being Sad' by Azia To *now on amazon* This is the book I wish I had when I was 12, 13, 14 and growing up until I was 20. It's the stuff I wish I told my high school self. *** This is how I feel - these are my thoughts. They're funny. They're a bit weird. They're extremely honest. And I will not be apologetic about any of this (Sorry - I'm not trying to give Canadians a bad rep here but...). All these short essays are raw and mean a lot to me. This is me handing you a key to my home, and for you to explore the parts that I have built and things that I have picked up along my journeys. You may find that my home may look a lot like yours. It's funny how we find parts of ourselves in the people we meet. Make yourself comfortable. Have a seat. Welcome. *** A collection of funny essays about hurting, loving, and healing as a teenage girl in 2018.
