Today, my school held a spelling bee. I won.
I really didn’t care about winning, to be honest. What meant more was all of my friends and my entire grade yelling and screaming my name. What meant even more was the hugs and the ‘I knew you’d win’s afterwards. Even my ex boyfriend was cheering me on.
I had been planning to commit suicide today for two months. You guys unknowingly talked me out of it. Thank you. I feel like I matter.
Walkin into French class afterwards, a boy out of the super popular group even came up to me and hugged and congratulated me. I had never talked to him before in my life. He also told me how beautiful I looked.
He really doesn’t know how much that means to a girl like me. A depressed loner, with cuts up and down my arms and the I’m fine attitude. He’ll never know. Thank you, T.K.
I’m looking for the upsides.
