If you know me, you know how worried I get when people say “kms.”  It is a term that is used too often that I do not think people even realize the hardness of those words put together. “Kill myself.” Me, being a seventeen year old girl growing up in this crazy society, I amContinueContinue reading “I Want to Live”
