Eliza stared at the website, her hands frozen over the keyboard. The words she'd penned as a teenager were now available for the world to see. Embarrassment warred with fury. People were laughing at her awkward attempts at poetry, at her silly crushes, at her teenage angst. Yet, she found herself not consumed with rage.

She wrote a short message: "It gets better. Truly."
