Ignite My Heart

"Be confident. Too many days are wasted comparing ourselves to others and wishing to be something we aren't. Everybody has their own strengths and weaknesses, and it is only when you accept, everything you are and everything you aren't that you will truly succeed in life..."

This was the last thing my mother told me before she moved on. I try to do that, honestly, I do, but most of the time I don't.

Rachel Craig, a sixteen year old, finds life alone hard. Never staying in one place too long, fearing she was going to be caught by the police and sent away.
Observing others and staying in the shadows is what she does. She was taught to do that.
Whilst observing, she looks at the smiling faces of other teenage girls hanging out with their friends and families which made her think about her own difficult situation.

They look like they don't have any problems and act as carefree as the wind.

They think life is easy and forgiving, they think the world is kind and peaceful. Oh boy, how wrong are they?
This world is a harsh and cruel place to live in, why won't they open their eyes and realize before its to late?

Whilst observing once, she spotted a group of teenagers, all having a unique feature. She didn't think about it to much, but she never thought her life would change as they noticed her staring at them.
