                    Monsters lurk under the bed, in the closet, and outside your window. If you don't pay close enough attention, they could get you. They'll be anywhere if you're not careful. The thing about monsters is that they don't have to look scary; they could be anyone or anything. They could come in any form they want, and you won't even know. The toughest thing with monsters is they can trick you without trying.

                    To them, it's a game, but to you, it's a living nightmare that you may never wake from. They'll taunt and tease you with little to no effort. They'll stay dormant for the moment, but when you least expect it, they'll pounce on you faster than a lightning strike. It takes only a second for them to take a fun and joyful event and turn it into the worst time of your life. Sometimes they do it for a bit, but the moment feels like a lifetime. But with the right skills and willpower, you will make it through this. Even if you need a moment to yourself or talk to somebody, you will pull through whatever hardships you're going through.

                   Ourselves are the greatest demons we have to conquer, and that's how we become stronger than before.

                   You just have to try.
