Thomas Merton once said,"Love is our true destiny. We don't find the meaning of life by ourself -alone we find it with another." Why should love be our destiny? Why can't we find love by ourselves, in our mind or in our book? For a long time, my life was quite and alone, then I fell in love. The thing was it was only me. Not him just...me. When we broke up last month, I went home and cried. I felt horrible for a week and every day, I would come to school and make my face smile. "Belle, smile." I would think "Smile." The hardest thing is that I sit at the same table as him everyday. Every moment, I wanted to be the characters in my books; I wanted us to be unstoppable. Me and him, together, against the world.
I have no idea why my mother named me Belle, I do not have beauty at all. I'm short, with large calves, brown hair, blue eyes, and not a very pretty face. I hate the way I look but I tell no one this. All my friends say I'm beautiful, but I really only have beautiful eyes. I think my mother named me Belle because she thought I was going to be a princess type girl that wears name brand clothes and nice make up but i am really the black shirt wearing geek that sits in the back corner of every room and thinks about the psychological horror that could make people die.

I'm a freaky person but I don't like jump scare movies. I like the psychological horror that make you think about the worst possible thing that could happen.
