  1. Dealing with my appearance is the most difficult thing.. It affects me emotionally snd physically, not only is it the only thing i see when i look at myself but also the only thing other people see when they see me. Nobody really sees ME.

    1. I have the exact opposite of your problem. The only thing people see me as is a monster. I didn't ask for this! I didn't ask for a power that kills, or to be shunned by my own parents, or to have to be isolated just so I don't hurt anyone. If you want to be noticed, just do what I do and gain deadly powers that can kill a person in seconds just by touching them.

  2. At this very moment, I am in a bed that is too soft to be real, a dress that I was forced to wear, and a room with more jewels than I've ever seen in my entire life. All I can think about is what Adam said to me: that we would escape from here. We would escape together from Warner's clutch, from this fortress he holds us in. All because of this power I didn't ask for and would happily get rid of at first chance.

    2. I feel you woman. One time when i was at M.I.B headquarters, i found out one of my good friends was being chased by a time traveling alien coming to kill him to change the future. Agent z told me to let it happen because this alien had been chasing M.I.B for a long time. he said it was, "best for business". If its one thing they know about me is that i don't give a damn about what's best for business! Agent K is my best friend and partner in crime. He's the Hero and i'm the sidekick. Like Batman and Robin, or like Lebron and Wade. Ya dig what im saying? Don't take crap from anybody, ya dig? If i don't take crap from aliens then you for damn sure shouldn't take crap from Warner. I am forced to eat where they tell me, sleep when they tell me, and even relieve myself when they tell me. If i wanna eat at Taco bell, i gotta go eat at mcdonalds. If i wanna catch some z's, i gotta stay up. If i wanna take a leak, i gotta hold it. Why? cause they told me too. Keep ya head up woman. Don't let that crap keep ya down.

  3. I talked to Ian last night... I figured out that the girl that gave me a creepy feeling in the cementary is his killer. After she poisoned him they hung her on castle grounds... She was a very powerfull witch named Lara. She cursed him to the earth. His spirit isnt allowed to move on. I have to find some way to break that curse. I'll do anything to help him, and Lara will do anything to stop me... Even kill me.

  4. I can't stand another minute in this hospital. I can't remember how long I've been here, just that I'm in a coma and I have to decide whether I wake up or not. It makes me sad to see my grandparents and friends so sad. When they talk to me they beg me to stay and say that I am not alone. I want them to move on, to be happy again because I don't think I can stay after losing my Mom, Dad, and brother. If I stay, then I will be an orphan. If I go, then I will leave my grandparents, boyfriend, and best friend. I just want all of this to be over.

  5. Why did I have to be cursed with this? Why did it have to be cancer, why couldn't it be the flu for a week or two? It just had to be cancer. I have to carry this stupid oxygen tank around that makes me look un capable to do anything. I wish i could just be normal like everybody else. Im limited to a lot of things and its just not fair. Why did it have to be me?

    1. Maybe having an oxygen tank is easier than a red birthmark covering half your face...

    2. I feel the same way. I constantly ask myself, why me? Why did I have to lose my entire family? Even knowing the fact that I have to decide whether I stay and leave behind my family, or go and leave behind my friends and boyfriend scares me. Whichever decision I make, there will be consequences. I just want all of this to be over.

  6. After winning student council I have been so worried about getting made fun of by all the football team. I also have been worried about my best friend. She wanted to go to the party and I don't know why but I just couldn't do it. I think everyone hates us so there would be no point in going. I think she is mad at me and I need to work this out!

    1. I know exactly how that feels. I just went to my first party and didnt drink at all. Seeing everyone there was way too scary and surreal for me. Now my group keeps making fun of me calling me a buzzkill. Some wont even talk to me.

  7. Are we truly the masters of our fate or merely actors on a stage, playing our parts in a predetermined cosmic drama over which we have no control?" Through a crazy course of coincidences I end up accomplishing almost all of the monumental tasks i have set for me. Yet i could never quite answers that question of free will

  10. I'm Allie, so recently I've stumbled upon a letter I've written my present self when I was ten years of age. I was expecting to see myself mention about how life was and my friends and family. I was immensely incorrect. Apparently my priorities as a ten year old is just listing my hair color, eye color, and my favorite breeds of dogs. Coincidently, I own one of the breed of digs I listed. So in conclusion, within a 15 year time span, I haven't changed that much. I might need to ponder my priorities. (of course I'm still going to keep my dog,duh)

    1. A lot of the times I feel like I never fit in because I was very socially alward. The best thing to do is to find you own group and go with them
