Let me set a few things straight:

1- This is about my life, so all events have already happened. No need to fret over them now.

2- Some topics are personal, so please respect me and my decisions as told, and do not bash others included.

3- Please understand that I don't want your sympathies, so don't be like "do you need a hug?" Because A, I'm not a hugger and B, saying that makes me feel mocked.

4- Some topics are mature. (No in-depth detail, but enough that you'll understand without me actually saying.) I will flag these with ⚠️

5- These are my stories, not a book of made-up oneshots. All of these actually happened. If you don't agree with something, too bad.

6- For privacy reasons, I may change the names of some people. You will know one that I will talk about, so I will only refer to them in vague detail.

7- This is mostly for me. Some of these things have been on my heart for a while, and I need to let them out.

8- These are in no particular order, so I'll try to put dates or a time frame of when they occurred.
