You might read one of my entries and wonder why I share so much of my life. You might think to yourself 'I'd never put my story out there like that for the world to see'. Well, I never thought I'd be the one to do it either.
But there's a good reason for it. I started writing this blog because writing was the only way I knew I could express my feelings. It was selfish and I just wanted to get rid of my bottled up emotions. But as I started writing I noticed how deep my pain went. Somewhere while writing my first entry I deleted everything and decided to stop being so shallow. I wanted to open up. But why? Growing up I felt so alone. I was alone in my situation. I was convinced that I was the only one on the planet with my kind of problems and my kind of pain. Well, I came to realize that I'm not that special. Everything I'm going through has been felt before and will be felt by someone else someday. I wasn't alone but I had nobody to compare myself or my situation to. I was a lonely and confused teen. I want people to know that what they're going through or went through isn't strange. They're not the only ones who feel like this. I have my story and I found a way to deal with it. I just want to help one other person. If I can help one person realize that they're not alone in this, I have succeeded. I didn't know that I would write down my whole journey of growing into who I want to be but I'm so glad I did. I sometimes read back and it makes me happy to see that I am no longer the same person who wrote the things I wrote last year and the year before. StraightThinking is now entering its third year which is a huge accomplishment for me and I'm so intensely happy that I became who I am now because of it. I want to keep sharing my story, for that one person who needs it but mostly for myself because I need it too! @uGottaLoveAimee #StraightThinking on Twitter and Instagram.
