Say You'll Remember Me

Prologue

Epiloge

        When I look back on the events that happened in my life I honestly believe they all happened for a reason. Five months ago I wouldn't have said that, I didn't believe in fate or destiny back then. I didn’t believe in a lot of the things I did now. I thought life was just something that was meant to be survived, it was hard and cold out in the world. The magical things people talked about weren’t real, they were just shoved in our faces so we didn’t see the harsh reality.

        But the path I took led me here, to this town with these people. Somehow someone had to have a hand in helping me find them. I wouldn’t have become who I was without the things they taught and the magic they gave me. Reality is harsh, but it’s not as bad when there’s someone there to help you deal with it.

        People come into our lives for many reasons. Sometimes they're a mystery we need to solve. Sometimes they're a lesson we never knew we needed to learn until they walk away and leave an empty whole where they once called home in your heart. Other times they're a blessing is disguise, a friend we never knew we wanted or needed. We fall in love and we figure out that all we need in life is to have someone there beside us. 

        I know that I wouldn't have learned all those lessons without them. 

        Happiness was something I never thought I would achieve, but there it was staring me in the face. My life was never going in that direction, and once I found it there was nothing else I wanted. No martial possession could take the place of the happiness I felt when I here in this place. 

        They say you can live with pain, and time will take it away, but I don't think I've spent a single day without an ache in my heart. I've grown used to walking around and pretending that life was going fine, even when it wasn't. It was easier with someone else beside me, it was easier when I could fill my days with laughter.

        But everyday I wake up I know that I am a better person because of the lessons I was taught on my journey to this time and place. I am thankful to be here, to feel the sun shining down on my face, and to know that somewhere out there there's another girl like me in her journey finding out that all you really need in life is someone to take your hand and promise you it will all be okay. 

        And all I could do is hope that when she finally takes that hand, she'll truly believe them.
