It was the first time ever she lived alone, away from her parents. New town, new people, rather a fresh start if she had the courage to see it that way.
All her life she lived the way what everyone else thought was good for her and now away from them she didn't know what to do with her life. What was she meant to do?
She was beautiful! But nobody had told her that. She was intelligent, had the potential to conquer anything she put her mind to but nobody told her how to be brave enough to take risks. She trusted every word everyone said to her because the innocence in her heart never doubted their crooked intentions.
First time out in the world alone, she was frightened. Will she find someone to accompany her, she kept wondering. Searching for that confidante of hers.
Years passed by. Each year some of that innocence was mortified. Day by day, she encountered all the principles they teach you to live by, are in fact how people take advantage of you. People did what they are meant to do. Lie, abuse, be selfish but somehow she kept the faith in goodness of people. Somehow she still believed in the power of the truth.
It was a series of lessons she learned that made her the woman she has become. Every lie she was told made her believe that speaking the truth takes real courage. Every time she was deceived, she learned how valuable it is to be loyal and honest. Every single moment her heart was broken, she realized how pure and blissful it is to love someone unconditionally and not everyone is capable of that.
It became pertinent to her that finding a confidante wasn't the solution. Becoming your own one was! After all we must of our life we think to ourselves, we plan, decide, sometimes regret. All this is when we are alone. Isn't it important then that we become the person we would want to listen to? That was the solution. That was the purpose of it all.
In the end, destiny is nothing but the choices we make. And hopefully she chose well!
