When I was a toddler, only about 3, I bumped my front tooth on the hard, shiny, porcelain surface of the bathtub, effectively damaging it to the point where I needed dental surgery.

I wasn’t suspicious when the nice lady gave me orange liquid that tasted like chemicals, when she put me in a dimly lit room with scooby doo playing on the television, or when she told me that I might get a little bit sleepy.

    My early freshman and sophomore days were spent with one hand over my mouth and a tight-lipped smile. I was trying to hide a part of me that was so integral to my individualism: my age. People told me my smile gave it away; I was almost two years younger than most people in my class.

    Like all children all I ever wanted was to be big and do big people things. I engaged in a few family members that I would look up to and try everything they did. I use to pretend to go grocery shopping and being a parent at times. At the age of eight, I had worn the worst pain ever and that was watching my five, year old brother getting hit by a car while trying to cross the street riding a bicycle that had a loose chain. I remember him trying to get up and get to me, but a few adults that had witnessed the accident had told him to lay down.…

    I nestled in the suffocating sheets of the bedding in my room, the room I had been confined to since the tragedy. The tragedy that twisted my once perfect life into a tumbling spiral of pure sorrow that I couldn't grasp. I breathed raggedly peering into the complete blackness of the room. I listened to the constant echoes of the machines that pumped medicine into my fragile body. I felt that I didn't deserve it because of the misfortunes that I caused.…

    Looking into a mirror, I don’t seem normal. My features come off as odd and stand out to me: like my lightly colored skin, high cheekbones, slight pixie nose, small lips, slightly crooked teeth, small eyes, brown hair, and brown eyes. All of these features are perceived to me as puzzle pieces that someone will eventually put together to form a masterpiece. While standing in my small, lilac colored bedroom, I glanced to the left towards my closet as I remembered my mother’s upcoming birthday, and I needed to complete her gift. I began looking through printed photos to find one that would fit perfectly in a frame saying "happiness".…
