A Unicorn's Childhood

Growing up, I always looked like a normal child. However, things are not always what they seem. A 7-year-old faced with chronic pain and mortality, an 11-year-old who trusted in second chances, a 13-year-old with a broken spirit, a 16-year-old with a death wish, and finally, an 18-year-old who recognized the damage but chose not to accept defeat. A journey through invisible chronic illness with someone who just happened to be invisible until it was almost too late. Welcome to a story intended to frustrate you and cause you pain. Welcome to a story that will make you feel sick. Welcome to a story that is my life, that is my pain, my frustration, and my sickness. Welcome to my world; it hurts, doesn't it?
