In High School I Definitely

I Didn't Have A Job Because Nobody Would Hire Me. My Friends Were Getting Hired, And I Couldn't Even Get A Job Interview. That Really Rocked My Self-esteem Because I Didn't Understand What I Did Wrong On Those Job Applications.

I'm A Perfectionist. Sometimes I Have To Remind Myself That It's Okay If There Are Flaws Here And There.

One Thing My Mom Used To Tell Me Was To Look To The Other Side, And Know That My Present Is Not Going To Be Everything. So If I'm Having A Bad Day, She Goes, 'just Imagine Tomorrow. This Is Going To Be Over. This Is Going To Be Done With.'

I Have So Many Goals.

I Went From Being Very Popular And The Head Of The Clique In The Sixth Grade To Having, Like, Kid Depression In The Seventh Grade. Not Leaving The House. Not Looking People In The Eye... My Body Made Me Feel Bad At Everything.
