My mind was lost in an everlasting sea of darkness. My body was damaged, due to those who were thoughtless to my insecurities. I thought that I was in a place of which there was no return, I was in hell. Then it came. A journal my uncle bought for me; he told me it would be a good way for me to freely express myself, that it would be my "therapy". I didn't pay much attention to his words that day, but now I realize how right he was. I wrote in that journal three times a week for fifty-two weeks and in six years, my life would change. You see, I was able to published my journal and it went on to be a New York Times best seller. My words reached the hearts of thousands of children. I still carry the pain, but now my mind is surrounded by a canyon of good thoughts and happiness. My body scared but healed thanks to the thoughtfulness of the many children who come up to me with the brightest smile to light up an entire room and words that made me cry. I say to all of you reading this.
Thank You.
