Note: this story may upset some and for that I do apologise but it is a fictional story. Also to note the poems that will be spread throughout the story are thanks to my sister Emma, who wrote them and is part of my inspiration for this story.

Revelation…..

Well I guess if you're reading this book it means you, the reader have found the tale of the cause of my most dramatic and emotionally stressful experience of my teen years that would begin my adventure to explore life's true essence and with these revelations, would help me discover who I really am and not try to be someone or something I am in fact not, as my sister seemed to HAVE to do.

As Maria once told me, "I'm born to stand out as I'm not and not meant to be like anyone else."

If only I noticed that in her and was not blinded by her cover up and got her to think that way about herself also!

This book contains journal entries of my sister Maria's journal, that for those who knew her and those that will come to know her as you read about her life and the events that led to this point of this epic realization to discover what really was inside that head of hers.

At the start of this year is where we start this story and where at this time she changed. From there I guess all you can say is downhill and KABOOM!

The following accounts are directly from the writings of Maria Montez……

WARNING- This diary contains my inner emotions, which are very deep and serious thoughts that I would advise people to keep their nosy nose out of!

I wonder what all my friends will think when they see my slim and trimmed body? Is it appropriate now? AM I? They probably will be green with envy with my figure stick form. It took the whole holidays of not eating hardly anything and throwing up (not that others need to know) but I think it's worth it. I hope.
