“No. I am not.” I pull my hand away from his hold. “You’re lying! I’m Julie Saint Andrews.” I need to make him see that. There are too many people thinking that I’m Juliet. If I start believing them, I will eventually forget who I actually am and I can’t let that happen. “I am not Juliet. You can’t simply come up to me, change my entire identity, and expect me to believe you.”
“Your name was Juliet Mathias, but you changed it after Adam and Katherine St. Matthews adopted you from the orphanage,” Remliel explains. I keep my mouth shut because right now, I don’t know what to say or what to believe. He seems to

"Mom, Dad, Nate, I'm sorry that I haven't visited you these last two years. I promise I will visit you every year and tell you boring stories about how's life been treating me. I promise I'll keep you updated so one day when we meet again, there's nothing you miss and it feels like you've never left."I feel his hand on my shoulder and turn to him.

I lay my head on his shoulder and he holds me tight.Sometimes the hardest part isn't forgiving others, it's to forgive yourself.Remliel helped me to regain my memory but as the memory came back, so did all the pain and suffering.

Being numb to emotions, being numb to life. You wake up in the morning just to go back to bed again. ~ This story will touch on the subject of "depression", "suicide", and "loss". While at the same time, it will have angels and demons inside it. The "mystery" surrounding Mr. Fiction. The attempt of finding one's true self and identity. The reveal of the past may forever alter the future. This author could only hope you will sit tight and enjoy the ride.

Mitch Albom~J U L I E S T. M A T T H E W S“He killed himself,”says the girl sitting in front of me in a flat, emotionless voice. It’s quite odd in one way and cruel in the other how she speaks with almost no emotion while talking about her late father. But people deal with grief in varied ways; perhaps that's how she tries to escape the pain and agony of losing someone.I scribble some words in my journa
C H A P T E R 2 : T H E B L U E E N V E L O P E~Being depressed is like falling into a black hole that you can not climb out of. Depression is a wound that never heals. A wound in the back of your mind that can’t be touched because it hurts too much. It’s always there and never goes away. Constant pain, a constant reminder. Every thought is a battle, every breath is a war, and you will lose on both fronts if you give it a chance.Depression is a serious thing but you’re not entirely hopeless.

You can’t win a battle, let alone a war, on your own, this is precisely why you need your family and friends to help you in a lifelong fight to keep you from sinking. Reach out to others to help you get out of the black hole. You may not be

The memories which lie within us are not carved in stone; not only do they tend to become erased as the years go by, but often they change, or even increase, by incorporating extraneous features.—Primo Levi~No matter how hard I tried, I could not find it.
