Hey everyone,

We recently had a guest essay on our blog, and I wanted to post a link here as well -- I think any "Buffy" fan would appreciate this amazing story!

How “Buffy” Saved My Life

The big difference between me and Buffy is that I was always a slayer. I wasn’t “called” or “chosen” – I was born into the violence and the suffering. But if I were to pick a moment when I knew I was different, it would be a little under two months before my fourteenth birthday.

OMG! That poor girl! 😱 I am so glad that she found the strength to keep going! I know Buffy has influenced my life but wow, I think it's wonderful that she found she could relate to Buffy, which helped her stay strong through everything 🙂
