hey guys. just wanna let y'all know something
when i was a freshman in high school, i was a complete n00btastic boob. like, i was the worst of the worst of the newbies. i was the most cringey. i was cringier than the "smexy elmo" tag. it was bad.
my freshman year, i left my homecoming dance in tears and could barely come to school on monday because some asshole ruined my night. freshman year was when i came home from softball in tears every night and eventually had to go to therapy. freshman year was when i really started to feel i was failing.
sophomore year was when i tried hurting myself once. then twice. i was losing weight, but not in a good way. i hated my body. i hated myself. the therapy wasn't helping.
junior year was when i hurt myself more. and more. and more. i cried during tests and panicked in assemblies. i binged and then purged and then starved and then binged. my friend told me she'd almost killed herself. one time, i tried to overdose just to get out of work. it didn't work. i went anyway. it didn't stop. i hated everything about me.
this year, i'm still pretty anxious and depressed. i'm still fat and still struggling with my body. i still have self-image issues and have to fight self-harm. life is still hard. but you know what? this year, i won homecoming princess. somehow, a near majority of the school looked at the four preppy jocks, the three chorus soloists, and me, the fuckin weirdo in marching band who thought no one really liked her, and said, "yeah, she's cool. i'll vote for her." life may not go your way 100000% of the time, and things will sometimes be a struggle, but you are still loved. when the opportunity comes, you'll be surprised to learn how much.
