She isn't just another girl... She is a very special girl... an extraordinary girl... a girl with depression, and bipolar disorder, and ADD, and insomnia. She's a girl who wants to please everyone, who wants to help the world, who has no time to please herself, who God is pushing to the limits, getting too close to the edge of defeat. She's a girl that when a friend is in need, she gives it to them, no matter how big or small. She's a girl that has the weight of the world on her shoulders, and if she steps away for a second, the world will come crashing down. She's a girl that just wants to grow up and be a writer, an astronaut, a model, a fashion designer, and live in New York. A girl that wants so badly to quit school, and a girl whose on the brink of life and death because of her mental stability. A girl that would be glad to switch lives with any one of her friends, and a girl that just needs help. This is her story, and story of a battle, a mental war, that isn't getting anything, except for more people hurt...
