Ignoring how many positive things there…

I was once a little girl who loved sports, was full of life, who took any chance to make someone smile, learn something new, and my only goal was to live life to its fullest potential. Anyone that knows me now may see me as a kind, intelligent, and helpful person, maybe that’s who I strive to be, but it’s not really me. Many occasions involve me, shielding emotions and lying about my real intentions are my specialty. Because of how long I have trained myself to act different it is slowly…
