Yesterday was my official halfway point of high school. Sophomore year was one of the hardest years of my life. I went through wayyyy more pain than I ever should've. But I also went through a lot of joy. I lost the first person I truly loved. The people who've stuck around for 3+ years know that story. But in the end I got a really cool friend out of it. I lost the second person I truly loved. But I learned some lessons that I hope NONE of you have to learn the way I did. Listen to the red flags, trust me. And then I found the third person. My person. Max has been by my side through the tears and the bad days with his big goofy smile and my hairtie on his wrist that I've never seen him without. As for my family problems, those are still occurring. My mom gave me the option to be ungrounded and get all my things back, but I had to break up with Max and cut off the friends she didn't like (most of them). I told her no. Because at the end of the day, I need my people more than I need a phone screen. So all of you on other messaging apps, I'm sorry but you'll be waiting a while. I miss all my online friends, but the support system I need is right next to me. And I ended the year with a 4.3 gpa so hey that's nice I'm really grateful for everyone that's been on my journey this past year. Especially Max <3 I'm working on ref sheets and stuff, dw
