Chapter 1 - Life Unfolding . . .

I am not the judgmental type of girl. Especially not because of the way I grew up. My parents were super strict growing up, but now I understand why they were that way. I have always been the shy type of girl that didn't know how to express herself. The type of girl that let people walk all over her. I remember how I would do things to impress my friends and get attention from boys. I would do things that my parents said I should avoid to show my friends how rebellious I can be. I was not scared at all of getting into trouble, all I wanted was to be popular. I would tell lies about how rich my family was because that seemed to get everybody's attention.

When I got to high school, my grades started dropping. Because I was more interested in impressing everyone at school than I was concentrating on doing my homework. Everything just went downhill from there.

Here I was pretending to be this bad chick at school. When really I was falling apart inside. Keeping up with my lies and pretentious behaviour was becoming draining. . .
