My 17th birthday

My entire life, I’ve never felt like I belonged anywhere., even Tto the point where I felt like a stranger in my own home. When I was younger, others bullied me because I was the “weird fat” kid”, and the more I grew up, the more I felt like people used me for my kindness. Anytime a person would open up their arms to me, they would suck the gullible right out of me, and it would lead me to horrible places… places I never want to go to again.
