I know that no one will read this, but I also feel like this is the most fitting place to put this. March 20th three years ago I was sexually assaulted for the first time, these assaults continued for years afterwards. June 16th three years ago I tried to commit suicide and ended up in the hospital for the first time. tomorrow, June third 2017 was the last time that monster assaulted me, and tomorrow, April 21st, marks the date of my last hospitalization. this place was an escape for me, it’s where I met my best and longest friend Shiloh and many others, it’s where I met my first girlfriend! shout out to ixchel if u out there. It’s where I met my friend Allysa who has probably saved my life a dozen times by now. I’m turning 17 this year, I never even thought I’d make it to 16. the thought of graduating high school was so laughable to 14/15 year old me, but I’m doing it, I’m starting college classes next year. I have friends who I love and adore, and a boyfriend who loves me ALMOST as much as I love him (haha Alex I win) My life is far from perfect and I am still dealing with the lasting, and probably lifelong, effects of the shit that happened to me. But it is getting better everyday, and I am creating a bright happy place for me to exist in. So I guess, if anyone does decide to read this (I know they won’t I haven’t been on here in years) I love you, and I know it’s cheesy but things!!! Do!! Get!! Better!! and there’s always something worth living for, even if it’s your mom’s Mac and cheese or the wildflowers you see on your way to school.
