The title of my book. It was one that stuck in my head for days. Those days turned into weeks, and then into months. I slapped it on a background I created and added my name. Then... BAM. I made a book cover!
Now what?
Well my dears... That wasn't even the beginning. Do you want to know where it all started? And how this came to be?
It started many years ago. I have always loved writing since I was a kid. I wrote poetry, or what I thought was poetry. I would write lyrics for songs that I thought I would one day create. Although I don't believe that I have a great singing voice. When I was in middle school ages ago, I thought that I would be in a band. I focused on it for years, and I wrote so much for it. It never happened though. I was not confident enough to pursue it. I kept my work hidden. Kept it a secret. There were very few that I actually trusted with anything that I wrote.
In high school things were a bit different. I moved a lot during my freshman year, and that gave me several experiences. It was kind of funny... Everyone has the same drama everywhere. The only thing that is different is the names of the people and their faces. You see a lot of love, and a lot of heartache. You see joy and anger. You see relationships start and you see them crumble. You see those that are faithful and those that are not. It does not matter where you are. The drama and the problems you are going through... Someone is going through that same shit.
I'm sorry to say, but it's kinda the same when you're an adult too. You will have coworkers that you can't stand, and some that you absolutely adore. There is a song by Bowling For Soup called High School Never Ends. Honestly... If you think about it... It is kinda true.
"The whole damn world is just as obsessed with whose the best dressed and whose having sex. Whose got the money? Who gets the honeys? Whose kinda cute, and whose just a mess? And you still don't have the right look. And you don't have the right friends. Nothing changes but the faces, the names, and the trends. High school never ends."
Alright. Lets get back on track.
I do not claim to be an expert in anything and I cannot guarantee that I will be able to give you the best advice you could ever get. I can only share the things that I have been through. I can tell you how I handled it. I can share my stories. I can listen to yours, and be metaphoric shoulder to lean on since I can't actually be physically by your side.
As time progresses... I hope that you won't feel so alone. I hope that this reaches you in some way. That you can see that we are all just flowers in this giant ass garden we call life. So my dear, give yourself some water. Take a moment to soak in some sun. I can't say that everything will be okay, because things take time. It is always good to take little moments for yourself.
Remember. It may be stormy now, but it can't rain forever.
