Jumping up and suddenly sitting on the balcony ledge of your eighth-floor hotel room is not the ideal start to a family vacation. Especially when you are ten and especially when you are struggling with your mental health for the first time. You may think it sounds like a good idea. Kinda exciting. Exhilarating. The most wild thing you could do in your ten short years on earth. But your dad will not think so. Your dad will spank you because he just watched his daughter’s life flash before his eyes. Because he is scared. Your mom will not be happy with you either. But you will be spanked. Everyone will cry. You will realize the dark reality of what could have happened to you, and then you will all get changed to go to the beach.
