Prologue
When you have everything you could ever want and feel like you are complete, one little thing could tear your world down. You think that nothing could go wrong but then your world comes crumpling down right before your eyes. One second in time could be the change of everything and you might not even realize that your whole life is being rewritten until it's too late. One minute you have more than you could ever ask for and the next, you have nothing. Does this sound familiar?
If you're saying yes, I think you can agree with me that it is the worst feeling in the world. You're so confident that you were going to have a bright future but then one little disturbance in your life; one little choice could take that all away.
If you said no however, you're lucky. Actually, you're more than lucky, you're blessed. But my advice for you would be not to get used to it too much because there will be something, either in your near future or further down the road, that has your world around you crumbling down leaving you crushed under all the rumble.
If you had asked me that question when I was sixteen, I would have said no. I would have said no without even giving it a second thought. Life was perfect for me, well, as perfect as a life can get. I had a loving mother and loyal friends. One thing missing in my perfect life though was a father. I never met him. My mother would always tell me stories about him and I would always listen closely to hear about what a great man he was. He died before I was born though. But, I guess you can't miss something you never had, right?
But if you had asked me that same question when I was seventeen, I would have said yes. My once perfect life came tumbling down when I turned seventeen. I made one little wrong turn and I lost everything. I even lost who I was. I was left with absolutely nothing.
