This is going to make no sense at all
Prepare yourself
Hi
I'm Bethany
Some of you call me
Bethie, bessie, soso, quiet, annoying, worthless, unimportant, beautiful, etc.
But
Many of you may not know much about me
Or my background
Or how i came to be
Me
I was born January 21st, 2000
I lived in Blytheville for 4 years
And then we moved to leach like after my baby brother was born
My parents always had some type of uncomfortable air about them
But they were domestically violent
That kind of made me realize that
Not all relationships are happy
Not all houses are safe
They divorced
I lived with my dad
He met a woman
We moved in after they were married
And so I ended up in my first year of high school in my rival school
Pretty awkward
But it was a really good decision
I made quick friends with several people
And I'm pretty happy here
But
I struggle with depression
And I struggle with anxiety
And I struggle with myself
And my confidence
And the only places I've ever been able to find any sort of security was in my instrument- yes I'm in band, yes I know that's not very cool, yes I know, I know
Also in my friends who are very hard to breathe without
I have some very good friends
I like to write
And never
Until this summer assignment
And I was thrown into the water forced to metaphorically swim through my own words, past, darkness, and feelings
Did I ever think I was good...
This assignment has helped me realize that people can feel my emotions in my writing
who I am
Who I want to be
And how I feel
So after this
I think I will continue to share my writing with the people around me, thank you for this
And thank you for listening and reading all of my posts
But most of all
Thank you for boosting my confidence with nice comments
You're my favorite and I'm done with my comments now but I really just want to say again that you truly are an amazing writer!! Love, Angel
ReplyDeleteBethy, I loved this and how honest it was! I could never be this truthful about my past and post it somewhere. I love your writing it is so raw and deep and I love you!! i think you should continue to write even though this assignment is over. I don't think you're worthless or annoying or anything bad you said about yourself above. I think you're beautiful and kind and I love how you look into the deeper meaning of things. You're one of my best friends and I'm here if you need anything!! Sorry I pushed you into the wall the other day. - SHailey
