Story of a Girl


This is a story of a girl. A girl who has been through a bit in the mere 21 years she has lived. This story will discuss the past of the girl to better understand how exactly she got to this point in her life now. It is not a story to dwell on the past and past events, but rather give some explanation as to why she is who she is today.

This girl has always been one to please others, and basically was somewhat of a pushover. Growing up all she ever wanted to do was please her parents and do exactly what they expected. In doing this, she lost who she really was. It wasn't until she was 20 that she had the chance to discover who she really was.

In relationships, she seemed to make the same mistakes. They all ended in failure so it made her think every mistake was all her fault. Her first serious relationship ended up lying to her and leaving her for her best friend. Talk about a good start and a wonderful relationship to set the first example! The next one wasn't so bad, but just wasn't right for her at all. The third was a doosey! Talk about third time's a charm!! This relationship is what put the final touches on ruining her. He was so skilled in what he did that he managed to completely tear her down. He played the best mind games and manipulated her so she believe she was nothing without him. He then left her as nothing but a stomped on, speck of dirt on the ground.

To say the least, she could not have gotten by without her friends. The summer after he left her is when her depression really hit hard. She couldn't eat, sleep, or function for that matter. She dropped a good 10 pounds making her lucky to be 98 pounds..and let's face it, no 18 year old should be that skinny. It's disgusting! But two people played key roles in helping her stay above water. Two of the best friends anyone could ask for! Without their love and support, she might not have survived through that summer. There were attempts that she made to escape the reality of life for good, but none of them worked. I suppose it is a good thing now that they didn't work.

So the next chapter in her life was college. Oh boy did she ever go wild there! It was her first taste of freedom and she ran with it. It was a year for rebellion and she turned to sex and alcohol and looking for love in all the wrong places. She should have known that no one can find happiness in the bottom of a bottle. The year ended and she quickly faced reality. She made a vow to herself that she would never live like that again, and the next relationship she would get herself into would be a serious one. The next year came and things seemed to be going exactly how she had hoped. She met a boy, took a chance on him, and they ended up being together for over a year. The downfall of this was, once again she put her whole heart in it and he took advantage of that. He played his games with her and made her think she wasn't quite good enough for him. She had to constantly prove herself to him, and really that is not how a good relationship should be. But there were also many things that happened within this year that they were together.

He had managed to push her wrong button one too many times, and she made her final attempts at suicide. This was done in front of the wrong..or right people and it landed her in the hospital..then the psych ward. It was here that she realized this was it, this was time for her big change. When she got out the next day, she took the initiative and turned her life around. She finally discovered her independence, her confidence, and who she was. It was a ground breaking moment in her life! She became who she had always dreamed she would be, and got rid of all the negative in her life. Which means the boy had to get out of the picture. It was only after she called it quits that he realized what he was losing and made a feeble attempt to fight for her back. But it was simply too late..and besides, he had over a year to have done just that.

Now the girl has moved onto a man! He is a man that has seemed to have come straight from her dreams. They share a common passion, and he does all the things she has ever wanted a guy to do without even asking or hinting! Everything is seemingly perfect with them, but there is a catch. Of course there is a catch, when is everything actually perfect..especially for this girl. She doesn't feel that she deserves this happiness that she has been longing for since she could remember. And because she doesn't feel as if she deserves it, she subconsciously pushes it away. She nitpicks, and then does not allow her whole heart to be exposed to him even though deep down that is what she desperately wants. And because of all of this it has backfired on her. They had their first fight over nothing and it seems to have driven him away. It has crushed her because she realized the stupidity in what she did and in realizing this has given her whole heart away to him. Only to leave her more wounded at his reaction. She just wants him to forgive and forget and go back to how they were..when he wrote her the most beautiful poems every night and talked about their future together because he couldn't picture his life without her now. She just wants to be those two people who were completely happy and crazy in love. It can easily happen he just has to look into her heart and know that she still is the girl he fell in love with.
