story of teen drinking and driving, loss, grief and survivalWhy do adults say we are too young to love, or too young to feel sadness. I feel all these things and I am just a teenager. Here is my story, my friend died a week before Christmas in the year 2019. You don't think I loved her as a friend but I did, she got in a car with her boyfriend. They were below the legal alcohol level, but still they should have never got in the car. She got in the car after the party. He had a .06% alcohol level. He tried to pass someone on a curve. They went off the side of a hill and hit a tree. She went out the window and her friend in the back is still in the hospital. My boyfriend helped me through this, I am so thankful he is in my life and that he loves my crazy messed up life. Honestly if you can feel joy and happiness, then why can't you feel sadness, grief, or love.

TW: sexual violence, physical and verbal abuse
I did not die when I was born. I did not die when I was touched inappropriately by relatives. I did not die when I was compared, and always asked as a second choice. I did not die when I was slapped on my chest while riding a bicycle. I did not die when one of my classmates intentionally touched my breasts and laughed. I did not die when I was slut-shamed and my character assassination was a trend during school days. I did not die when men found ways to rub their dicks in populated areas around my waist and back. I did not die when my boobs were squeezed in public places. I did not die when I was humiliated by teachers questioning my identity and existence because of my past education. I did not die when my ex-boyfriend abused, attacked me and leaked my nudes to my friends.I certainly will NOT DIE, rather I FACED the hardest situations. My point is, we face a lot of things in our entire lifetime because of the invisible pressure that comes from family, surroundings, and society. But we can let it pass. YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN WAY. DO NOT GIVE UP. |
