Guilt is a powerful infliction.
You can try and conceal yourself from it, but that's when it sneaks up and starts to eat you alive.
Some people struggle to understand their own guilt, unwilling to understand the parts they play in it.
Others run away, shedding their being until there is no conscience left for them at all.
But, I run towards my guilt. Feed it because I need it, because for me, guilt is one of the only lanterns that still lights my way.
My name is Emma Maynard, and I'm trying to hunt down the one thing I need, and to get it, I have to hurt a lot of people on the way, but nothing is going to get in my way.
But sometimes even the best laid plans can get ruined.

A Summer Romance
"Everything happens for a reason." - Anonymous The world's a fucked up place, a place that was made for people to suffer. Nothing more, nothing less. Well, at least that's what Skylar Roberts thought, and her past didn't prove any differently. She hasn't had the best experience down the road of life and she had learned a long time ago that it's much easier to go through life with no expectations and a closed off heart, not giving a flying fuck about what anyone else thinks of you. She never believed that there would be anything more to her life, nothing to look forward to or a light at the end of the tunnel. This is it. And nothing could change that. But once she meets a certain messy-haired boy, things seem to change, boundaries being pushed and secrets being leaked. But despite all he does for her, it doesn't change her opinion. Life is, and always will be, a meaningless cycle. "Because. No one could make me change my mind. Not even Ryan."Complete
