We must give up…

“We must give up the life we had planned in order to have the life that is waiting for us” – Joseph Campbell

Every story has a first page…this is mine

Can you imagine meeting a girl who is 21 years old and has never had a legitimate boyfriend? All the quirks that you tend to realize back in middle school and high school, has yet to be realized by someone who has put off dating her entire life. Well, all that would change the story of this girls life within a matter of months. From living an average life which included studying like a nerd, spending countless nights at home with the family, glued to the TV watching all types of movies and sports to…. a complete 180. Dating someone outside her race, lying to everyone she knew, losing her virginity, pregnancy scares, constant smoking and drinking, physical and emotional abuse, blackmail, and severe psychological damage. I would say the story ends quite sadly, but then again, the story doesn’t end until the writer takes their last breath. And I’m still breathing.
