Description
My name's Devon, and I don't really know how to say this... But I almost ended everything. One bridge. One night. One decision. That's where my story starts and maybe where it should've ended. But life had other plans. They say time heals everything. But what if time's the thing that's killing me? I'm seventeen. Black. Broke. And tired. Tired of hurting, tired of pretending, tired of chasing a future that feels so far away. Mama's gone. Pops is just... existing. Nana's holding it all together while raising my little sister-and me? I'm somewhere between who I used to be and who I'm trying to become. Some days I feel everything. Other days? Nothing at all. I'm just trying to hold it together long enough to figure out if this life is even worth the weight. This ain't no fairy tale. This is grief, survival, and the kind of pain you can't post about. It's soccer dreams, cracked faith, and praying God still sees me when I can barely see myself. This isn't about being saved. It's about staying alive long enough to save yourself. If you've ever felt lost... tired... invisible... This one's for you. This is my story. This is me-before I let go.
BEFORE I LET GO: PROLOGUE
