I wanted to be heroic. At least I wanted to believe I was. To be honest, I’ve always been good at pretending. Pretending not lying. I spent the first 13 years of my life pretending I was someone else and that I wasn’t in the situation I was in. I pretended I had a nice house, money, food. How I longed for anyone else’s life. Anyone’s, as long i was out of that dreadful place. But I got what I wanted didn’t I? For some reason I feel like that’s all going to change soon. Starting tomorrow…
Change it how you want I guess this is just the start
Is this a question..? I can help; I know lots about Mr. Johnson.
