When drawing a line, you know the line is bound to end somewhere.
You know when and where to end the line, or to draw a new line.
I didn't.

I've been living my life just like how one draws a line across a white paper.
And now, after months of drawing without a purpose, I'm ready to end the line.


Rated T for violence and discussion of self harm/suicide.

Oof. Sounds like my experience in 7th grade... without the yelling in anger part. Just an awful year.

Sometimes pets are the ones that truly understand.

You know what sucks more than bullies? Others standing around, adult or otherwise, not lifting a finger (or hoof) to help.

Y’know... after such a horrific beat-down and Very likely severe concussion... and the school just expected he’d be fine... in a harder class?! C’mon, now.

You know, you are an excellent writer. I appreciate the effort you put into this. For a while, reading it, I was thinking this was certainly not a ray of sunshine, Mr. Sunlight Rays. But it all came out good in the end.

Two thoughts:
1) couldn’t help but wonder if this was sort of a self-therapeutic self-insert...
2) would have been cool to drop a little vignette at the end where one of his bullies (failing at life) come to his door looking to get some psychological counseling.

Okay, I'll admit, you got me good there.

As for your thoughts:
1) This story was based quite a bit on real-life incidents experienced by me. Fortunately, things never went that extreme as depicted in the story, but it was quite an endeavor trying to overcome them nevertheless. I put those incidents together to form this story and then created an OC that had different personality traits. Trust me, I was not going for a self-insert here. I just thought that for my first story it would be a good idea to base the plot on IRL experiences to make writing the plot easier. Which, inadvertently, had the side effect of me failing to properly develop my character. Or at least I think I did.

2) Hmm, never thought about that option. If I were to rewrite this (which I'm seriously considering doing so) I might as well as add that scene in.

And, well, this is not a ray of sunshine because it wasn't intended to be. :twilightsheepish:
