When we are little, we plan a perfect life, the perfect job, husband/wife, kids, house college and much more. And, as you grow up, you change things, whether you chose to, or something happens. For Pandora, a sad event leaves her future choice unclear, but could this event have made her the better person she is today? My future, My life... Me. No one can tell the future, you can make plans, but you can never be sure it's going to happen. Struggles in life can leave you hanging by a thread in a snap, life can be cruel, it's not forgiving, it's not nice, but most of all? It's not easy. I didn't expect it to, in fact, life can be a bitch sometimes too, and it's just a matter of getting back up on your feet, and trying again, til you take your last breath.
