Dare To Love Yourself

Part 1 - CLOSE ENOUGH TO "DREAMS COME TRUE"

Chapter 1

I stood on the beach in the city of my dreams and gazed into the enchanting waters of the Pacific Ocean.

- I did it. - I whispered, and a tear fell from my eye.I was so happy and proud of myself. - I'm here. I did it.

My parents saw me for the first time on the fifth of May in the two thousand years and gave me the name Holly Honey. I've been different ever since. Special, crazy, weird-all epithets that describe me accurately.

That's my story. I will tell you how I realized that I was different , how I dealt with it , how I discovered what my dream was , what difficulties I went through to achieve what I wanted with all my heart , and how , despite everything , I managed to achieve complete happiness.

I'm in Los Angeles now. It's banal, I know.But this is my dream city , and I believed that only it would give me the opportunity to realize my dream. I still believe that.

But to understand the events that completely shook my life , I have to go back in time , back to the distant two thousand years.

My childhood was almost perfect, which was perfect. And when I use the word "childhood," I want you to imagine that period in a person's life when he is one to seven years old.This period was filled with laughter , games and family moments , and each of these moments is the reason why I am today determined , strong , happy and good.

After I turned seven and was old enough to go to school, my life changed radically. I am fully aware that change is normal , but in my case it was also a bad thing. I changed slowly but surely.Slowly but surely I grew up and faced the obstacles sent to me from the life. Like most children and teenagers, I did not win this battle.

My years in elementary school marked me for life. Until the time came for me to start attending high school , I was already a complex and depressed girl , with a huge talent and connected with music and acting in a special way , but at the same time without any self-confidence and closed within myself.

That was me when I walked through the doors of my high school for the first time. That explains why I went through everything I went through when I was in high school. It explains why for the first three years I was sinking deeper and deeper into the hole I'd found myself in. I just refused to get up , open my eyes and live in the real world around me again.

My fourth and fifth years of high school... The times I fell in love , I began to believe again and realized how broken I really am.

My story began then.My point of view changed then.Then I made the decisions I made that changed the direction in which I was going.And I will tell you everything , and I will hope that my story will inspire at least one of you, influence at least one person to change and start dreaming again.

Chapter 2

- Holly, what are you doing ? - Austin shouted from somewhere, walking rapidly towards me.- Reading ? Again ? You know you're supposed to be in the back unloading the new stuff , right ? It...

- ... just got here. - I finished the sentence for him, and with a flourish I closed the love novel I was reading in concentration.- I know, yes, I know. But I have five more minutes to rest.
