{SEQUEL TO CALL ME ELLA} Yes, seven years have passed since I broke free from my own from of twisted fairy-tale. I cut ties with my "evil" stepmother, my stepsisters and from all the hatred I had in me. Yes, I moved on and left that place, carried on to live my own life in my own terms, without defining myself in terms of how much I hated someone. Yes, I let go of my love to focus on myself, my dreams and my career. Yes, during all these years I've thought of him and missed him, but I've lived content with my decision, knowing it was for the best. Yes, I found myself and I feel free, I'm also ready to give myself a chance to focus on that other part I decided to put aside seven years ago. Yes, I'm ready to give love another chance, but even if I've changed a lot, I'm still the same girl from seven years ago in that celebrity retreat centre, just improved. I'm still Ella.
