Prologue

My name is Bethany Talia Grande.

I have a story to tell. A story the world would appreciate.

A story that can change a person's life. Here it goes.

I had schizophrenia when I was 7 years old.

My life was a blur. I always had hallucinations that were very real to me.

There was Laptop, the cat. Monday, the hamster.100 hours, the girl.

Now that I'm 15, I have dyslexia.

The words on a paper are like alphabets in alphabet soup.

I wish I was normal. I wish I was perfect. I wish I was pretty.

I just wish that people will know me as a normal girl.
