chapter 1

"I want to be in a place where I can start over. I want to be able to make a mistake and not have the entire city know about it. I want to be able to live in a place where I can dress how I want and not be called a prostitute. I want to be able to change my name and not have everyone know my real name. I want to be able to be able to not have everyone I see be concerned with my life. I want to be able to be treated like the adult that I am. I want to start a new life."
