She Was Special

Once upon a time there was a girl. She was a cliche. At first you’d think she’s just like all the other girls you know. Well, that depends on how many girls you actually know. At first you’d think she is the happiest girl you’ve met and then you’d change your mind when her face turns serious as she shows you how angry or hurt she is. You may think this is a fairy tale but it isn’t; it happens all the time and reality fills this story as the water fills the ocean. She loved to listen to rock, she loved to read, she loved to write, she loved her friends, she loved her animals. Just like all the others girl you may know, she was trying to live her life. She was trying to figured out what to do with her life once she was becoming a grown up. She wanted to know what love is and at the same time she was scared of all the madness of that idea. She cries watching drama movies specially when it talks about animals. She was sensitive, though she tried to hide that underneath her skin. She had friends but she felt lonely. Just like many girls you know, she has dreams.
But maybe she has something special and the reason why this text has so mixed tenses is because I cannot be sure if she’s still alive. I met her a long time ago and the last time I saw her, she said she was unhappy. I’ve heard she tried to kill herself but unfortunately I don’t know if she has succeed. I really hope not.
Although she was like the others, she had something special and I really liked her because of that sparkle. We shouldn’t forget we all have something that makes us speciall and there’s always someone who loves us for what we really are. There are bad people in this world who’ll try to let us down but we have to be strong and find a reason to live.
And then, maybe, we can write a happy ending to our “this-is-not-a-fairy-tale”.
