That’s what I’ve believed ever since I lost my mom at age thirteen. From then on, my life has spiralled. My two siblings, however, have managed to pick themselves up from the ruins and carry on—but I could never seem to do that. While my brother and sister inherited all my mom’s creative, loving, and charismatic genes, I didn’t get any of that. Just my dad’s bitterness.

By leaving California, I’m walking away from the life I built for myself—though it was never on a solid foundation to begin with—to escape a terrible relationship . . . only to be sleeping in my childhood bedroom without a plan for my future. Now at rock bottom, I’m forced to face the mistakes I’ve made, the relationships I’ve abandoned, and the people I’ve hurt.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSlowly—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003ebegrudgingly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—I’m learning that I don’t have to do it alone. Even when I’m at this new low in my life, in walks the sweetest man to ever exist: Harvey Brindle. Through all the chaos, unknowns, and milestones, Harvey sticks by me when he could easily discard me like every other man I know.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut I have sworn off love—and men in general.
