**TRUE STORY** The last 18 months for me have been utterly horrifying, to say the least. I'm not even sure how I've kept my sanity. I wanted to write this so that I could maybe sort this all out in my head, but also to raise awareness of people in this world who have more going on than social problems. I've struggled with being an asexual, being a type 1 diabetic, sexual assault, with family fights, medical emergencies, life-changing diagnoses for my family and, on top of this, uni, study and maintaining friendships. These are my crazy 18 months that will take me years to consolidate. I don't know what to do, but I know I will survive and strive. Thank you for reading!
