Life is not always how you picture it.

Life changes with simple things.

Sometimes you get hurt and sometimes you hurt others.

Madeline was the type to get hurt—her mere existence was ignored by many. However, sometimes even the most minuscule thing can make the largest difference.

It was a day like any other; bleak for Maddie, and nice for nearly everyone else. The usual trip to the coffee shop before work occurred without a thought. The usual wait for acknowledgement for a caffeinated liquid took place as she tapped a small foot.

Everything changed with a simple hello.
