<br />
My name is Emma, and I already know I don't meet your expectations. That's okay, I live by my own standards.<br />
<br />
I'm 16 years old but I've already been on a long hard journey. It's not ending any time soon, not if I have a say in it. I love my life but it's far from perfect.<br />
<br />
My heart is not a black hole. My soul is not empty. I am a real person, with real feelings, and real emotions. If you take the time to get to know me, I'll show you what I'm worth.<br />
<br />
My mind is spinning like a record, however the track is constantly changing. Sometimes I get dizzy. I might get sick, but I'd rather life my life this way than absent minded. Sometimes when I try and explain my thoughts to other people it's hard to follow. <br />
<br />
I could spend my time thinking all the shit the world has thrown in my face is a curse, but I won't. I'm blessed in many ways, no matter how hard it is to see when the present clouds my eyes.<br />
<br />
My life is a romantic tragedy. My life is a resilient catastrophe. <br />
<br />
I seem to be happiest when it rains, but I know how to appreciate the sunshine. I'd pick a sunrise over a sunset any day.<br />
<br />
I grew up living with just my mom, and I watched her happiness drain over the years. She's been unwell for a while, but she taught me a lot. It's okay to help those who were supposed to help you. It's okay to help yourself.<br />
<br />
Once upon a time I realized that there aren't always happy endings. I realized the story didn't always seem as beautiful as the ones we were told when we were young. But I believe that there comes a time when you have to steal the pen back, and write your own story. You can't control where it ends, or how it starts, but you can do your best to fill it with the things you want inside it. <br />
<br />
I'm constantly adding things to my story, and what genre it is depends on who is reading. I call it an adventure, but you might not agree. All I know is that I love my story.<br />
<br />
I don't see things in black and white. I don't see things in shades of gray. I see things in color, and I want to fill my life with every tint and shade.<br />
<br />
Don't be scared to talk to me. I'm easy to converse with and I keep an open mind. <br />
<br />
I am not a victim, I am a survivor.<br />
