He says. "Now, I might not really know you but I do know that that is not true. You are special. You have overcome so much recently to get to where you are. Do not sell yourself short. Losing your parents does not define who you are so do not let it. Be yourself. Show who you are and let others see it. They just might surprise you." I tell him. "Yeah right. Since we got here that is all we have been to anybody. Now, we are also the freaks that have splotches of red on us. Why couldn't we just be normal and blend in with everyone?" He says leaning against the wall.

It's right here yet so far away. Comeback. Come forth. I need excuses to not need them. Am I a slave? No. I want to be free. Free from it all. I want to break the wall. I could. All I need is right here. Do I need help? Yes. Should I overcome myself? Yes. What do I need? Myself. I want to climb it. Today. I must. Tomorrow is an excuse. Just a little more. Half a step I take with this. And then. It's all over.

Ha, like I would even go to a party if my life depended on it. Should I take his apple laptop?

Don't look at me like that, I'm not selfish, he deserves it and it's selfLove tho. Munching on my favourite biscuit, an idea struck, *food* yeah food!. I jumped of my bed and did a booty shake. I can see your face now, told u am crazy.

"It's already holding him, Aurora. Right now, two floors up, just by being awake near him. It's the most natural thing you'll ever do. The only thing standing in its way is the one habit you've never been able to break." "Which is?" "Doing everything alone. Lean on it. Let it carry you for once instead of carrying it."

The person you are right now, in this seat, is already disappearing. And that's not a tragedy. It's the most exciting thing in the world. You get to become someone new, over and over again. Don't be afraid of the breaking. And don't be in too much of a hurry to glue yourself back into the old shape. See what new shape the tumbling makes."

I realized that.the only opinion I'd ever have to care about, the only one that mattered, was my own. An attitude brought on by people I've only met months ago. I was told to own the various avocations that made me happy. The things that brought me to life and made me feel the most alive. I remember Alex telling me that the worst thing I could ever do in life is to keep my chin down and doubt myself. I made a promise to myself that that was something I'd

Or anger that’s settled into something steadier. “I didn’t wake up powerful. I wasn’t born brave. I broke, slowly. Then I rebuilt, slowly.
