Hi, I'm Amber, or A.J. Whichever is fine.
I'm not gonna lie, this is a true story. And It's super hard for me to write because, I'm absolutely terrified of what would happen if my friends read this. And mostly because this is based on my life. But, a friend of mine encouraged to take risks, so here I go. This story is surreal to even think about because, I'm baring my soul to the world. I struggled with loving myself and taking care of myself. I've even fallen to that little dark side of your mind, where you just want to stop feeling and die. But I didn't give in and I'm still here. I want to be totally honest. With myself and everyone else, someday.
So, If by chance you know the real me, in real life, This is my story.
This story is dedicated to everyone who relates in some way, and to the little 8 year old girl who fought so hard to be able be the boss ass bitch she is today. This is dedicated to all my friends who stuck by my side when everyone else ran. Specifically these amazing young women; Cherish, Jalila, Makiah, Jaylyn, Haley, Arianna, and Tracey.
And a special thanks to Hugo, my partner in crime.
Thank you guys so much. You make me laugh and smile everyday with your quirks. Keep the Petty squad going.
Enjoy!
~A.J
