Preface

I had always wanted a boyfriend. When I was a sophomore in high school, in 2013, I met a boy who I really liked. He is an amazing person, and at midnight on New Year's he asked me to be his girlfriend. We dated for two years, before I broke up with him. He had absolutely nothing to do with it; in fact, we are still friends, today. I broke up with him because I was unhappy with who I was. I needed to be alone and figure out how to be happy with myself. So, we broke up. Since then, I have worked on being happy with myself and learning to appreciate my life.
