Dear Journal,

I think my life has finally taken it's toll on me starting today. My world has been stripped away from me and replaced with one from out of a graphic novel. One filled with demons and unrealistic creatures that I never believed actually existed. I had only just turned 18 this morning and all I can say is that I don't even recognize anyone anymore. My mother lied to me for the past 18 years about who I really was and the worst part is that I am now unsure of who I am now. A persons 18th year is supposed to symbolize something but for me it just symbolizes the year that the truth came out. This truth bit me hard in the ass. And now I have to face my new reality with no knowledge of what awaits beyond my home doors.

Hey guys sorry for the short introduction but I promise the whole story will be amazing
