Dear readers,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking your time to read my short story. I would like to say a few words before it
begins, however. Give you guys a little background as to what this is and how it came about.

This short story is simply my journey with depression. I wanted to write something, but I wasn't sure what to do. A few friends told me to write how I was feeling, and thus the story began.

My journey with depression wasn't/isn't necessarily the worst experience ever. Others have had it far worse than I. And I give credit to those who have battled much worse and are still here, fighting to this very day.

The MC's emotions/feelings are in fact every single thing that I felt, down to the s/h and suicidal thoughts. Her actions however, are not mine. The actions are exaggerated for the soul purpose of affects. Her experiences are mine as well, but with an adulty twist as I like to call it.

A little disclaimer as well for the content that is to appear in the story. There is self harm, suicidal thoughts, and the whole book is based off of depression. If you believe this to be too much for you, please do not read it. I do not wish to make anybody upset, sad, or down with my story. I only intend to share my experience as a means to help me. I will not be putting trigger warnings at the beginning of each chapter. This disclaimer right here is your trigger warning.

If you are suicidal, have self harmed, or have feelings of depression and loneliness, please contact somebody and get help immediately. This is not to joke around with, and I highly suggest seeking either professional help, or the advice from a family/friend.

A reminder for those who are going through this, you are not alone. I myself am still trying to remember that. You are not alone in this situation. Your feelings are valid, you matter, and you are important. Don't ever forget that.
