"Olivia is a shy teen, but filled with so much potential", my mom says to the therapist as she sits down in the chair across from her desk. I go to sit down as my mom is handing her my paperwork. I think to myself, "I need to do this for my mom. I hate that she worries about me so much now". Two weeks ago I tried to take my life and mom found me on the floor. I was slowly drifting away but I could see that she had tears in her eyes, and her face was so pale she looked like she saw her own ghost. Hours later I woke up in the hospital. I'll never forget that day. Two days later I turned my attention to photography to express the bad feelings instead of keeping them to myself, and I plan to enter my pictures into the State Fair in a couple months. "So I think I'll be putting you on anti-depressants and anxiety medication for a couple months, and I'll sign you up for a talk group downtown", the therapist says to me. "Sure, I guess", I tell her, already starting to get nervous about talking to people I don't know. Me and my mom both get out of our chairs and head for the door. "Thank you so much", my mom says. As I'm opening up the door, my therapist says to me "See you in a couple weeks Olivia?". I look over my shoulder and say "Yeah", and walk out the door.

Not Sick But Not Well.
This day wasn't an exception. I cried over and over until I could no longer, I wiped my tears and took the packages in my arms after opening the door. In the house, nothing new. They were still talking, so I had time to drop off the packages, and without even opening one, I headed to the showers, cleaned my face with water, and went to my room. This is roughly how my days as a child went. I know that it cannot be described as an ideal childhood, but it would certainly be the most beautiful period of my life. Despite family conflicts, school conflicts, loneliness, and fear, I was happy. I was happy because they were all there, happy because they always remained, despite my faults, and happy. After all, I knew that I had not yet experienced the worst. Happy because I knew, that sooner or later everything would end. So yes, I was as cowardly and useless as they all claimed and even more naive than they would have believed, but this vision that I had at that age kept me going. Although the truth was hard to accept, I was given no choice. So I accepted life as it came; I accepted myself and my truth, my weaknesses, and the fact that I had to get used to the idea that I would always be the first actor to die in films.
