I remember when I was fifteen and I shut everyone out. I left all my friends without explanation, when I needed them the most. I threw all my journals into the back of my closet to never look at again, and took all the photos of my friends and I off my bedroom walls. My friends gave up on me after a few months and started pretending like I didn't exist. They made new, better friends.

I felt like I didn't exist.

I feel like I don't exist.
