❝You have been a good girl for so long. You have been enduring all your hardships for so long. You never complained and never let anyone know how just how deeply you were hurting. You always put others before yourself.❞

❝I thought if I just kept going, things would get better.❞

❝But they didn't. Your father got arrested; your mother couldn't take care of you; your friends turned against you. Daren played with your feelings. None of them are worthy of your love and patience. None of them care for you so why should you care for them?❞

❝...you are right. Why should I care for them?❞

❝There is only so much you can endure. Now the time is ripe to cut off from your life all those people who caused you pain. Now the time is ripe for you to think about yourself, to put yourself first. Now the time is ripe for you to shatter all the chains holding you back, to spread your wings and take flight, away from this undeserving world.❞

❝Now the time is ripe for me to finally be free.❞
