Prologue
I am sitting here staring out in the distance… There
is a young girl; she looks as if she hasn’t got a friend
in the world to talk with. I can’t help but wonder what
she is thinking or why she looks so lonely. Surely she is
normal, just like anyone else her age. There is no way she
could have ever gone through or experienced what I have
been through. So why does she look so sad? Why does she
frown when everyone around her smiles?
Then she looks in my direction. Our eyes lock, and it is
then I realize the girl I am watching is…me.
Perhaps you feel as I did. One minute you are scared
and insecure, and the next, secure. You laugh and cry with
the greatest of force in your life. You feel alone and scared
and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy, and you
cling to the past with dear life. Soon you realize the past is
wandering farther and farther away, and there is nothing
to do but stay where you are or move forward. This is
when you are faced with making your next life decision.
Which will you choose?
