COVER BY @jujubok
There's no definition for life. Everyone's going through different problems and struggles. We just don't always see them.
For Rose Easton, life was...too perfect. Nothing bad happened, but there wasn't anything good. It was balanced out. Her life was, in some terms, boring.
She asked for more. She wanted the thrill. The joy. Maybe even some of the pain.
Any other regular person would want her life. They envied how easy everything was for her. Rose receives all A's, she lives in a medium-sized house (for all her life, in fact), and no matter how much her life was desirable to others, they were still her friends.
Her envy for others' lives was a mistake...her life turned...bad in many ways possible. Even some ways that aren't possible...
All I can say is, is that she should've been careful about what she wished for...

A Self-love Story
Bliss. Delight. Contentment. Euphoria. Elation. Joy. Glee. Felicity. Jubilation. These are all words synonymous to the word happiness. But what is true happiness?
