Yes, it is. My whole life is a story.
But I'll tell you a tory from way back. You can find it interesting or not; doesn't matter. When I was in high school, I started getting depressed and moody for certain reasons (Precocious Puberty; I never grew in height since age ten). This lead me to stop being a straight-A student and to become nihilistic and depressed. Not to make the story too long, somebody pissed me off, so I went to their house with a bunch of bricks and smashed every window with them.
I was given community service as a punishment and had to tutor youth for 150 hours. I was only there to serve my punishment as a 12th grader. While there, one girl kept showing up everyday. Rebecca, or "Becky" for short. She was a 13 year old 7th grader and somewhere around five feet even. A shy Hispanic girl who grew up poor like me. Because the students there could choose who they wanted as their tutor, she kept choosing me, which annoyed me at first because it meant I actually had to do work.
I was always a smart kid, so school has never been hard for me. The tutoring was easy to help her with. But as she talked with me more often, I discovered her family life. Her mother died and she was living with her stepdad, who resented having to raise her on his own. He did his best, but he was a drunk and he couldn't hide his disdain of the situation as much as he thought he did. On top of that, Becky was being bullied in school by another girl. A physical bully, not just a gossiping bully, although she did that too. Her life sucked. And me, coming from a similar situation of having no family, knew what that was like.
At this point, I hadn't developed severe depression yet, but I was certainly not "safe" to be around. I had no time for games or BS at that point in my life. I was hardened and street wise, by that age, and already had more misery and BS than most adults get in their lifetime. I could sympathize with Becky. I was the type where if someone dared try to bully me, I'd follow them home, break into their bedroom, tied up their mouth, and do all kinds of "not exactly legal" sh*t to them. I was very much NOT sane or mentally healthy at this point my life, and frankly, I had nothing to lose.
Becky was going through all these issues, and she didn't quite have the teeth I had to enact vengeance on people. So I told her, though tough love, she needs to either grow a pair and stand up to her bully, or *I* would become her new bully. She was such a coward, at that stage. I didn't take that much of an interest in her situation; I had my own problems to worry about, but I did teach her the basics. How to stand up for herself, how to throw a punch, and generally how to not let people f*ck with you.
After about six weeks and close to when I could finish my community service, her situation with her bully was getting worse. However, Becky had enough. She finally fought back against her bully, a 5'9" older girl who outweighed her, and scared the daylights out of her. Becky even bit her, like a wild animal. Becky finally learned to stand up for herself and become brave. However, she also tried to say she had developed "feelings" for me, as well. I told her though that it couldn't work out and she was foolish for thinking such things. She was five years younger than me and a child compared to me. She was left heartbroken and took it pretty hard. I didn't see her for a while after that, but she sent me a handwritten letter on my last week at the tutoring place.03 Reply- +1 y
So time goes by. Six years later; 2011. And I run into Becky again, on Facebook. Now going by Rebecca. She messages me and asks to meet up, since she now lives nearby. I legit did not remember who this was. I then met this strange woman in person. She was 5'9" and curvaceous now in this tight orange-red dress; definitely a woman. Think of Selena Gomez, but as a 9 instead of a 6. Rebecca had long brown hair, clear skin, no braces, and unrecognizable from her child self. She grew like eight inches and 60-70 pounds since I seen her. But she was by no means "fat." She was thick, though! Like a legitimate Insta model! Her body was amazing now. So, it took me a while to recognize who this woman was, before she jogged my memory.
It legitimately didn't seem like the same little girl from before. She told me how I "changed her life." All this stuff about inspiring "confidence" in her and whatnot. Although that wasn't my intention, at the time. Not directly. I was just teaching her how to survive. But she had developed even deeper feelings for me, since then. In the six year gap, her brain misremembered me as being more than I was. Like, I was this uber bad-ass and legend, in her mind. And she became convinced she had to "make herself worthy" for me. To transform into this superwoman just to be "on my level." Meanwhile. I was thinking in my head how utterly PISSED I was that she was now almost eye-to-eye with me. Barely an inch and a half shorter than me (and she was earing flats, too).

She was confessing her love to me. And while I would've loved to have taken advantage of Rebecca, I knew none of it was real. I wasn't the man she imagined me to be. I wasn't her "soulmate." And there's no way I deserved someone like her. Not to mention, the age gap was still kinda creepy. She may have been 19 at the time, but I was 24. She barely seemed legal.
At this point, I could've had her. I could've had this damn-near perfect, uber confident, med student with a heart of gold; who claimed I was the "man who made her" and she would've done anything for me. But I couldn't live a lie. Furthermore, I couldn't stopped being pissed at myself how short I was compared to her almost being my height when before, she was almost a foot shorter than me.
And make no mistake, Rebecca was FINE, too! She was confident, but had the sweetest personality. She was kind, but strong. Any man would've been lucky to have her. But I was not the man she thought I was. And I had to say no to her, again. Frankly, I was still a loser. And she deserved better. And honestly, she deserved taller, too.
I didn't want to keep talking to her, because her adult existence made me feel worse about my own life. But I was happy for her. That she turned her bad life around. Even though I could never do the same for my own life.

I was able to go back for one more semester before I had to leave. I had a girlfriend I really loved and I had to go back and live with my mother over 300 miles away. The first week after I was back I was drinking in a bar and got very drunk. I wondered how my life got so screwed up. I decided I would drive the 320 miles to see my girlfriend. I went home and packed some stuff and about 1 AM I started driving. I got about 60 miles and realized I was in trouble, I could hardly keep my eyes open. I saw somebody hitchhiking so I picked him up thinking maybe he could drive for a while. He gets in the car and I realize that he is in worse shape that I am. I slam on the brakes and kick him out of the car, I was so pissed about everything that I drove all the way back to school and pulled into the parking lot just as the sun came up.

Interesting 🤔
+1 yThe story of my life:
I have problems going to sleep and I have problems waking up too. Sleep is like a short term death. I don't like waking up because I want to escape from this hell. I have problems going to sleep because no matter how much I try to escape I can't. Now all I can do is... Face it.
Fight with the problems rather than betraying yourself.

It unfortunately happens sometimes in this industry and paperwork is really important otherwise if we did it under the table we would be fined and penalised by several governing bodies not to mention its illegal and I could lose my job. It happens once or twice a year at most hehe - +1 y
