I am writing a Book!

My Mother and Me are beginning our book this week! Not just talking about it, we've already been doing that, but now we are both sitting down and taking the time to write our story. Its a pretty darn good story, and it's my story, about everything that has happened in the last 3 years, and its been quite dramatic. We don't have a name for the book yet, but its going to be about 12 chapters, from both of our perspectives each chapter. It's a really emotional story, and just writing it brings back a lot of memories and reopens wounds, and its difficult to see what I am typing when the tears are just flying out of my eyes, and the snot is just flooding out of my nose. Good thing I have a big box of tissues next to the keyboard! I know that this book will touch a lot of people's lives for the good, because there are people who need to hear the story, people who are going through the same struggles and hardships that me and my family went through. And I hope that we can get it published after we finish it! I'll be keeping this blog updated with snips of the book! 

So here is my foreword(unedited and first draft)

Everyone has a story, and each person goes through different times of hardship. For most of us human beings, being a teenager is a very trying and rough time, it’s a time when we are trying to figure out who we are, what we stand for, and what we ultimately want with our futures. But in today’s world being a teenager is harder than ever, there are more evils that poison our thoughts, and create false realities that we then think are what we should be like, or what other people should be like. Now more than ever, there is sexual carelessness that plagues and destroys people’s lives, there are more drugs that are readily available and easily accessible that destroys people’s minds, bodies, and families, and teenagers fall victim much more easily than adults. We don’t always think before we act, we want to “be cool”, we want to “fit in”, we get random influxes of strong emotions either negative or positive at a whim, and we are fragile creatures that are hurt easily, judge quickly, and hold grudges. But being a teenager isn’t all bad; it’s amazing all at the same time. It’s one of the greatest periods of growth in our brains. Which means we can either learn to be good or to be bad; and once we are done growing in our brains, which ever power had the greater influence will most likely dictate the rest of that person’s lives. So the reason I am writing this book is to tell the story of what happened to me as a teenager, I’m not the only girl out there with this type of experience and I know that I can hopefully help girls that were in my situation to see the light, and to help parents to be there for their children. This book that my Mother and me are writing is a book unlike any other book I have read, it’s all true, it’s a non-fiction about real events and struggles that I went through and that my family went through, and I feel like it needs to be shared, I feel like someone out there needs these words, and needs to hear my story. Not to sound conceded, but it’s an inspiring story and it has a lot of power. But you’re going to have to read it, to know what it’s about.

Let every moment be a good one
