After a few stressful days, I've become aware that I need to shed some light on a few things. What better way to do that than in an Odyssey article because I am the queen of subtweets right now.

For the past four weeks I have been doing a short series known as "She." As many readers have figured out or assumed, it is true and about me. There are a few exaggerations in the writing. I am saying this because these articles weren't meant to make anyone feel guilty or sorry for me. These articles started out as a way for me to vent in a third person point of view. It was a way to express my feelings while being able to say it was fiction. It was also originally supposed to be expressing how I'm awkward and am tired of it, but it didn't quite work out that way.

Yes, I used true events in these articles because I had held on to them for too long without saying anything. It may not have been the best way to let it out, but it was how I needed to let it out. That's who I am, so I won't apologize for that.

As I mentioned, these articles started out that way. They morphed into something more. Something bigger. Originally, there would have been a part five. Each article had a goal to leave readers with a thought. Part five was going to wrap it all up and tie everything together. There will no longer be a part five because I don't want to accidentally hurt anyone as I have with the others.

I will, however, sum it up into a few sentences. If you are noticing things that seem off, ask. It's okay to do that. If you read my articles and have questions or comments, come to me. I now will explain as much as I can. Finally, this isn't just about me. It's about everyone. If anyone seems off or says something that doesn't add up, confront them. You'd be surprised what'll happen.

I am sorry to everyone I hurt with my articles. I am sorry for anyone that got caught in the mess that is my life. I will find a different outlet for my thoughts that is more private and go back to a different type of articles. I will also work to be more open and express any problems I may have with someone to them instead of through a platform or someone else.

Just as everyone else, I am a work in progress. I'm a nineteen year-old woman in her second year of college. I experience random waves of depression, and it is becoming more frequent. I don't expect or want to be treated any differently with my saying that. I just want to put it out there because too many people have been caught up in the mess that it is causing me to lose some extremely valuable friendships that I can't replace.

I am working on myself, and this article is part of that. Thank you for reading. I love you all, and I want you to know that I am okay.
