Prologue

What is happiness? Can you tell me? I've smiled before, I've laughed. But that doesn't mean I'm happy.

Happiness is hard to reach. I guess it's when your whole heart feels light and full of joy. If it is, I've never felt that.

Worrying and shame are the main factors of my life. And the product? I've never been truly happy.

Of course, there are a few good days. But they're like the 1's in a multiplication problem- it doesn't really change the product.

Over the last year, it's only gotten worse. One fateful night has ruined it all. My parents and brother hate me even more than before, and I know it's all my fault.

I may be very smart academically, but I make some stupid choices in life. Ones that I can't fix, ever. They loom over my life like dark gray clouds over the sun. Always somewhere, always there.

I don't know if I will ever be happy. I'm Angelina Rae- what an ironic name! My life is hard to undersatnd. If you knew, you'd know why I'm unable to be happy. If I can't be happy, then I wish the best for you.
