Now before I start this I just want to give you guys a lowdown on this. The idea for this story has been running through my head so freaking much so I decided to get it out of my system. I will be posting chapter 1 right after this gets put up. So, as for this little prologue, it will be a short monologue from the main character, aka, my OC. No name will be given yet. Thanks for reading everyone!

!Disclaimer! I do not own anything of Yu Yu Hakusho, but I do own my plot and the OC's.

A Fine Mess – Prologue

Life ain't easy. There's no yellow-brick road that'll take you to where you wanna be; no "get out of jail free" card. There will always be some obstacle in the way of your goal. That obstacle will do its best to keep you from going where you really wanna go, but that's what separates the strong from the weak. I'm not talkin' physical strength here; I'm talking about someone who has the right stuff. What is the right stuff you ask? I'll tell ya. Bravery, compassion, courage…those types of things make up the right stuff. You've gotta have heart and a serious strong will to shove those obstacles aside! Anyone can do it, all you gotta do is try. And sometimes it's harder for others who have had some shitty circumstances. They might think that there ain't no point in trying; they'll always be stuck at the bottom. I would know. Being abused can hurt even the strongest person, and it's hard to get out of it. But there is hope...there always is. You just gotta know where to look.

For anyone who is being abused, just try to find someone, anyone, that could help you through the pain and hopefully one day get you out. You just gotta believe in yourself and not let anyone hold so much power over you. It's hard, but you can do it.

It's funny how I always get started on this when I don't even follow my own advice…and I really should.
