Content Warning
Please consider whether a story featuring frank discussions of suicide, self harm, self-depreciation, mental health difficulties (including anxiety, depression, and a suggestion of an eating disorder), poverty, eviction, grief, and other similar themes depicted using adult language is a safe choice for you before continuing.
This story is in no way intended to glorify or promote any of the above themes.
My goal is not to write a story that will be incessantly painful. It is a story that comes from a personal place that is sometimes difficult to depict, but feels important for me to share. Please consider this a departure from my usual, more YA centered, works.
