Battle Scars (Memoir)

[walkingonfirex]

I had to write a memoir (a personal story; what made me who I am) for my Composition class and though it's melodramatic and incredibly personal, I wanted to share it with you guys. It might be inspiring? I don't know, probably not, but I still want you guys (if anyone) to read it. It may be triggering, because it deas with topics such as depression

Oh wow.

I never knew how bad it got for you, and I don't really know what to say, to be honest. I can't really say I know what you were (and are still) going through, since this never really happened to me, but I can say that I love you, and I'm here if you need me. You can always talk to me, Kalina. I mean that. And yeah, things may have sucked, but they don't have to continue to suck, yeah?

I'm glad you look at them as battle scars, hon. You're alive. You're here to tell your tale. I'm extremely grateful for that. *hugs you*

Thank you so much, Patricia! I hope I didn't depress you too much lol, but I would like you to know that I've always seen you as such a great friend and I can remember a couple occasions in which you've helped me. A lot. I can never repay you for that.

I know that you can vouch for the fact that college is stressful and insanely annoying sometimes, but I'm done feeling sorry for myself and I'm glad that I'm here! I swore to never let myself get that low agains and I won't. Anyway, I'm happy that you read this. I sometimes feel like people don't take me seriously (not you, obviously) when it comes to my depression and anxiety and I hope that this makes them realize that what I do and say is never for attention.

I'll always remember to talk to you if I need to. The same goes for you. If you ever need anything at all, I am here. I love you! :)
