Prologue
Sometimes life gives you a curveball, something that knocks you completely off of your center, shifting the axis of your universe. Often there are forks in the road, choices to make, and it will either make or break your life. Sometimes it's painful, or maybe it's scary, possibly even the greatest moment of your life, and if you're lucky it's all of the above. Because when life is painful, you learn, when life is scary, you overcome it, and when it's the greatest moment of your life, it changes you for the better. I learned that fairy tales can be real, and in more ways than just finding your own prince. I overcame the fear of being myself; I even learned to love myself. I changed for the better, and it's all because of one mistake. It's amazing how one action can cause a chain of events, how was I supposed to know this could happen? A better question would be: would I take it all back if I could?
