Sweet 16

When you were 16, what did you think your life would look like? Does it look like that? Is that a good thing?

Are you serious? When I was 16 my life couldn’t possibly be worse than it was. I didn’t think too much about the future as I had way too much to deal with at the time.

My parents relationship was miserable (it ended in divorce about a year later). My uncle was tied to a hospital bed. One of the teachers in my school did everything to get me to fail. I was constantly bullied by some brats. My brother (lovely boy) had psychological problems. I had a job where a guy thought he was allowed to touch me whenever he could.

I did not think about the future. At all… Sweet 16? Don’t get me started…
