If there's one thing I should start with it's this.

I am not a writer and words do not effortlessly flow from my lips.If there's one thing I must confess,It's this year I have been a complete mess. Stress is a constant state in which my body lies.Anxiety constantly grips my soul and depression makes me want to close my eyes.Worry is the world in which I am alone.It's a world that is steady and for me well known. My parents split and my mom fell in love.Little did she know him at all when push came to shove.Police had come and my anxiety was off the charts.Just another person to break our hearts. Thoughts of college slams like a wave.It's a road I wish to walk on, but have no way to pave.Money has been an issue for as long as it could be.College tuition is everything, but free. My first choice college and I got in.I never thought this would be a battle I win.My best friend got in too what a great surprise.Now the issue is tuition is on the rise. Elections, Donald Trump is running, what a joke.Elections, Donald Trump is winning, please be a joke.He wins and the ones I love are scared.We are valid we are proud, but we weren't prepared. A lot has happened as you can see.But there is one thing that has happened to me.I made it. I survived isn't that swell.Now hopefully this year goes just as well.
