This book reflects my personal growth from my early teens to young adulthood. I wrote to express my feelings of love, disappointment, and the emptiness I felt when young love was shattered.

Being cheated on, lied to, and used by boyfriends left me feeling betrayed and struggling to cope. Writing down my emotions helped me manage those feelings. Raised by my grandparents, who were together for almost sixty years, I believed I would find that kind of love. But time and time again, I found love being used to mask lust and sex. My lovers pressured me into things I wasn't ready for, only to leave me broken and alone.
