So if you don't know my struggles of being ''18 and sober'', I suggest you either back off or get to know me a little more. Then again, I tell different people different things about me. To see me mentally naked; you have to be of great importance to me and have a good understanding of the psychology of everything that is me. But to do that...you have to know me first. Looks like nobody's ever gonna know me. But I like you, you don't talk back. Just listen and because of that, I'll tell you a secret that's not really a secret.
