Just remember that, sometimes, the way you think about a person isn't the way they actually are...

Even under the best of circumstances, there's just something so damn tragic about growing up.

If i had the opportunity to rewind time and start everything over. I would.

I'd go as far back as I could. Id beg my mom not to marry him. And if she did id decide to live with my grandparents.

Id learn how to drive from my grandparents, id be there as my grandmother faded away.

Id stay close to friends and id continue to learn art instead of suppress it and forget.

Id focus on healing instead of filling the void i have inside me with men.

Id learn to be comfortable with my sexuality.

Id be able to handle myself better with my depression and not deflect it on others because I would never face a life og manipulation and abuse.

Id get out more. Be more social.

Id spend less time looking for distractions to my loneliness and be content with the way things were.

Id study well enough to have a good job.

Id work hard enough to have a life of my own by now that I'd appreciate.

Id do everything different. Id be completely different.

I am here, alone, at the end of the world. I reach out and touch nothing.

I've always had a hard time with this. Probably because my parents were so judgemental and would try to label me as lesbian growing up for just having female friends...it made me feel like even if I was it wasnt okay by the way they spoke to me.

My senior year of highschool before my car accident I realized...yes...i am also attracted to women as well as men.

When I moved out to California, I wanted to be able to be more open about it. But the guy I was dating made me feel that it was wrong as well.

Every person I tried to tell made me feel it was wrong. I became embarrassed of it and always had to keep it hidden.

I'm trying hard to not be embarrassed anymore.

I am bisexual. And there's nothing wrong with it.
