Holo, everyone! Guess what today is?
"Judging from the title I'm gonna assume it's someone's birthday." -Everyone
Well kids, not just any birthday, it's mine! Today is the day I have been awaiting for 18 years... *sniffle* I turned 18! Wow, cool, right?
Anyway, even though I'm 18 I still live with my mom and so I don't have the freedome to write whenever. But school is starting again, and since I'm taking a gap year, I'll have plenty of time to write when everyone else is gone.
My older sister is going to college, my younger sister is still in middle school, and my mom works almost everyday so look forward to updates in the coming months.
I want to thank everyone here for all the amazing support you've given me and this story. I mean, we hit a thousand views just this month! I never even imagined this story would do so well. Honestly, I don't really think it's good enough to get so many views, but thanks anyway to everyone.
I hope you all have a great rest of the summer, and to those of you who really struggle through school, or even the ones who just don't like it, be strong. I passed with like a C average, but I did it. Be strong cause the feeling of graduating is so worth it.
I struggled so much during high school, not just with grades but also with relationships and friendships, but senior year, I made friends who I know will be with me forever. And one day you'll find those people who will support you no matter what.
Just know that you'll get through it, and if you need help, with anything, get it. Because I had a friend almost end her life and then run away from home cause she didn't get the help she needed. If you know someone like this, tell a counselor or your parents or their parents.
Getting help is crucial for healing. I talked to a counselor every other week at school and she helped me so much. When I did something good she made me feel proud of myself, she helped me have confidence in what I do, and I would've fallen into a depression without her.
The best birthday present I could ever ask for is knowing that my words have influenced someone, or helped them, or changed their life. Knowing my words make people happy is just the best feeling in the world.
And on that note, I'll see you guys next time I update! Thanks if you got this far. I love all of you!
