There are tales. tales we use to say. There are expectations. Expectations for the perfect girl. We saw her strong, none one cared to think she felt asleep crying. She acted like nothing was wrong, but maybe our perfect girl was just really good at lying. She looked me in the eye. I asked why was she so nice. And with a smile in her face she kindly said: maybe I just don't want anyone to feel this way. All she ever wanted was for her mother to show she was proud of her. For her dad, to see her struggle and stand for her. For the people that surrounded her to tell her to stop. That it was ok not to be perfect; that they were proud of her either way. But she never got that. She was never enough, never ready for life; never what they wanted. Because no matter how beautiful, charismatic or clever you are. It's never good enough. Do you want to be perfect? Do you even know what it takes to be perfect? Are you ready to loose yourself to society? Is it worth it? I don't think so. SHE doesn't think so.

***this book contains suicidal thoughts and tendencies, may not be appropriate for younger audiences*** In which she looks for the purpose of life. Lily Carter's parents died in a car crash leaving her and Laura, girl was depressed long before her parents passed away and with all the problems turning up now, Lily felt more miserable - if that's even possible. With her journey to look for life's purpose and grab the small pinch of HOPE - which is ironically her second name -, will she finally snap at the pressure and finally end it all? or will a small light lit her darkened world of grief and loneliness? * "So you know. The little goth girl who gets bullied is indeed a mess. There's this mess in her head that eats her alive everyday isn't it? What to do now Kaden? Tell the whole neighborhood and recieve an award for taking out a crazy in this world?" I spit like vomit. His eyes warmed up as I finished, "Lily. It isn't like that" "What is it then? People stopped caring... they gave up, why aren't you?" I fought my tears. "Because I feel the need to care. Did Leigh hurt you? Did she hit you?" he finally noticed the unusual redness of my cheek. I don't like the way he told me he needed to care for me. I felt like an obligation, a responsibility that he is carrying and carrying leads to getting tired and when people gets tired, they give up. I don't want them to give up on me. But they will, so it's good not to make them care for me in the first place. "I never needed anyone. I stopped needing anyone before, why start now?" I uttered the words again. Why? There is nothing to fight for. No mama. No papa. No sister to love me. No one. So why would I waste my life and the time of others to fix what is already broken - and someone who doesn't want to be fixed? If I may add. Maybe I gave up. No, scratch that. I gave up a long time ago - when my parents died, my hope and purpose went away with them.
