"All my life I've been searching for happiness. And no, i'm not talking about the kind of happiness that involves designer clothes or the newest tech. Not talking about the fake smile I put on everyday, and my sarcastic remarks I use to hide how I really feel. I mean the real kind. I mean peace, love, and  care. Not just from some boy, but from a happy family, a happy home.  But none of that matters right now because I have ten minutes to make sure I don't look like I've been crying all night and morning before I'm late to school. "
