There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING...

What is Love? Is it merely a fleeting emotion, or could True Love truly last forever? What of the elusive Thread of Love-is it strong enough to endure the trials of time, or can it snap under the weight of despair? And what of love at first sight? Is it a genuine phenomenon, or simply a figment of our imagination? Picture this: a Girl meets a Boy for the first time, and in that moment, they discover feelings that ignite something deep within them-something they never knew existed. What is this sensation that takes hold of their hearts? But how did they come to meet? Ah, that is where the story unfolds. They encounter each other during a practice-a practice that seems mundane at first but holds the potential for something extraordinary. What kind of practice, you ask? That's for you to discover later, as revealing too much now would spoil the thrill of the journey ahead. Yet, let's not ignore the shadows that linger over the Girl. Before this moment, she was shrouded in darkness, carrying a burden that weighed heavily on her heart. Why does she hurt so deeply? Trust me, you'll come to understand her pain-and perhaps, you'll find that in the depths of their shared experiences, they may forge an unbreakable bond that even the harshest trials cannot sever. The tale is just beginning. Stay tuned, for the true essence of their story lies ahead, waiting to be unraveled.

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years.

As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.
