Dear Diary

I know it is weird to keep a dairy but if I do not write things down I will forget them. What happened after moving I will never forget? I am not exactly your typical sixteen-year-old girl. I look like an average sixteen-year-old American teenager, but I am not. No matter how people try to convince me I cannot convince myself. I have known since I was little that I was not normal. I would see and hear things other could not. I would have more than one imaginary friend. They would tell me stuff that only certain people would know. I got in so much trouble until the doctor finally spoke to my family. He told them that I had a brain tumor and that I would need supervision at all times, and that is what they did. I found out when I was 13 that they actually thought I had schizophrenia. They would watch me to make sure I did not do anything wrong, and every time I would talk to the people they cannot see I would get in trouble. As I grew older, I got more freedom, but not enough. While other kids my age were riding his or her bikes to the park, I was just allowed to go in the backyard by myself but someone had to watch me from inside. I hated my life, but I loved talking to the people only I could see. They would tell me stories about their past lives. I would hear all these amazing stories about the world and their travelling stories. The stories were all that got me threw the day. That they trusted me and were there when I needed them. They would help if I was in a difficult situation. They did things others were afraid to do because they didn't want to hurt me, but they hurt me by not helping me. I felt alone and trapped, because I had no one to turn to. Fear took over me and at one point; I did try to commit suicide. I tried ending my life because I had no reason to live. When I was, fourteen I went threw a stage of cutting my wrists. I would have done anything to distract me from the harsh truth that was my life. I am now much stronger and a happier person. I put in fake smiles for people to ease their worry and after moving to this town, I actually smiled and meant it. Well that's my life now I want to tell you the story that led up to now.
