Living A Double Life.

Listen to NF's 'Mansion' while reading. This song will give you a better idea of what it was like.

When I was nine, storytelling became a neccessity. I was being verbally and sometimes physicly abused by a school teacher. My life was terrifying suddenly, a daily nightmare. I would pace all night long, anxiety became my master. 

I became very sick, sores forming around my mouth from pure fear. I developed many symptoms of complex PTSD.

Stories became my escape. Now writing has become my therapy. This is the side of writing for me that many will never read about.

This is how stories became real to me, how I learned to make them rich in detail, because the more detail I had about this other life, the more of my real life was pushed from my mind.

But this was not how I learned to write them, those stories were for me and me alone.
