Look, I know I am just a character. It's not necessarily that the sick bastard who decided to bring me into existence has appeared and been like "Yeah, sorry about making a character where I decided to test murphy's laws to the fullest of its extent". I wish. That would insinuate whoever wrote me cares about my well-being. That is bullshit.
No, I know that I am a character because there is no fucking way that someone's life could possibly go so wrong. You, the lovely reader, or at least I hope there's a reader, because otherwise my diary is looking really dumb, but none the less, you are reading this. You might be thinking "Oh no, did they get rejected by their crush?", and to that I say, yes, yes, I was, but there a lot of other things to. I believe that one of my earlier journal entries lists them all, but in case only one page of my diary survives when they are searching for my body, I will give you the run-through.
My mom killed herself when I was two, so I'm guessing her side of the family is where I get my depression from. Then, at the age of three, my dad drunk drove himself into a very restful sleep, but jokes on him, I don't remember him anyway. I moved in with my grandma, who had a stroke when I was five. So, then I ended up in the system, were I stayed until I was seven, before I got adopted by this sweet old man. Turns out he wasn't that sweet, which I learned when he tried to touch me, but luckily the neighbors heard me crying and called child security services, so I was back at the orphanage the very same year. This time, I stayed there for another five years, before getting adopted by my best friends family, who were all incredibly sweet, and at first, my BFF/sister was as happy as me, I'll some back to that later. Then, right after my thirteenth birthday, I asked my crush of three years out, and they said no, effectively breaking my heart and sending me spiraling. This caused my new family to start paying more attention to me and my mental health, which upset my sister, who loves attention. Then, at fourteen, my adopted dad got into a car crash, dying, and sending me spiraling. My adopted mom instantly started helping me more than her actual daughter, since her daughter was always independent, and that pissed my sister of. So, my sister told me that I better leave, get out of her and her mom's life, and die. So, I ran away. And that is how I'm here, a fourteen-year-old, in the back alley of a fucking taco bell, armed with only a bottle of pills to overdose with, a pen, and the journal you are reading.
Really, it was bound to happen. My mom did it. My will to live did it. And really, without my will to live, what am I living for. So, if things go to plan, this will be the last time that I am writing in this cheap plastic journal my sister gave me before it all went downhill, when we were best friends. I wish it was still like that. I remember when I was young, I used to be so happy, even though I was literally in the situation of a twelve-year-olds crappy OC that has gone through WAY too much trauma for their age. Though considering the fact that I probably am some crappy OC, makes me wonder the age of the author. Maybe it is a mentally ill adult, or just some really fucking emo teenager, which honestly, makes sense. Or maybe it's a wannabe emo. Those are always fun. Except for when they are joking about wanting to commit suicide, which lets face it, is most of the time, except around their parents. I, in fact, would probably still be in my annoying emo stage, listening to My Chemical Romance or Twenty One Pilots and complaining about how hard my life is. Ahh, to be a stupid teenager that takes everything for granted. If only.
And I know it's probably the police reading this, and I just want to say, this is suicide. No need for an investigation, I don't want to fuck up anyone else's lives. Feel free to use me as an example of what depression can do, and I know it sounds hypocritical, because it is, but just because I am going through with it doesn't mean you have to. You still have a chance. Everyone has a chance. I just don't care at this point. So, my last words to this made-up world that was made exclusively to torture me, just remember. Stay alive.
