I was depressed, suicidle, I didn't want to live to say the least. I cut my hips, wrists, thighs, and I burned myself. I had always been a very happy person, and now I just sat in a empty house, and stared at a wall, hoping something unknown would swallow me whole. I was like this for two years. Once I started to live my life and enjoy myself, I met a boy. By then I was 16, he was 20. He had sleeves of tattoos, and always wore a leather jacket. Typical bad boy. He took a liking to me, and we started dating. We were together a year, 2014, and I fell in love. Long story short, he cheated on me through our whole relationship. I was devastated. I became depressed again, so bad I was prescribed pills. I tried to commit twice. My older sister drove me to a doctors appointment one day, since my mom was out of town, and she put on one of your albums. She told me who you were, well she told me your name, same thing. When I got home from the appointment, I listened to every single song you had. "Ghost" hit me hard, it reminded me of him. You're music became part of me, it was like a shield for me. Not in a bad way, though. After three weeks I was off my pills. I started hanging out with other people, I went to local concerts. You are the only reason I'm not still an antisocial, depressed girl. You are the reason I haven't tried to kill myself again, you are my idol. I'm starting my first year of college now, I never thought I would make it to senior year. Thank you so much, Ava
