My name’s Amara. Not Ah-Mare-Ah, Ah-Mar-Ah. I hate it when people mispronounce my name. I’m 17 years old. I live in California. None of that really matters, though. Like everything else in my life, they feel like unimportant facts I’ve merely had to memorize. They all feel foreign to me, like when someone else has the same name as you. It really isn’t your name, now is it? I’m just getting off track now, though. I tend to do that a lot.
