The second is the guitar that I first learned to play on, that represents my love of music and the peace that I get from it. The third is the postcard I brought back from New Zealand that represents my love of travel and adventure
It was the summer before my senior year at John I. Burton had started. I had been dating what I thought was the love of my life. His name was Alex Dean. His bright green eyes and sandy brown hair were my favorite things about him. Alex treated me with so much kindness during our relationship, and I had never had anyone treat me that way before.

January 1, 2013 is the day my life changed. I'm from a small town in Florida where everybody knew everybody and everybody else's business. I knew everybody’s car, house, address, and about every phone number. It was safe to say that for the first thirteen years of my life, I travelled nowhere and didn't see anybody but the everyday faces in this town.
