Blinded By Love

“Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with them." -Carrie Bradshaw Prologue\\ Date: August 25, 2013 Dear Diary, I just want to be free. I want to explore the world as the person that I am. I'm tired of always being careful and fulfilling my parents wishes. I want to be me, not the person that they want me to be. They want me to be Raquelle, but really I'm just Rocky. Meet Raquelle Shaw. Raquelle is seventeen years old and a junior in high school. She has always been taught to act like a lady, dress as a lady, and be a lady, but that wasn't the real Raquelle. The real Raquelle a.k.a. Rocky is reckless, rebellious, and hates the thought of being lady-like. She is more of a tomboy than a lady, but her mother would not let her daughter embarass her that way, so instead of her boyish clothing, her mom replaced them all with more girly clothing. Raquelle didn't like the way her parents forced her to be something that she is not, but she knew she could never stand up to them. She has a wish of showing the world her real self. She does not want to be known as the perfect girl Raquelle, but as the reckless queen Rocky.
