"The world was a black atmosphere from the abyss we shared/ Whether you cared or not, the sapphire sky turned crimson red/ Just as the fading moon briskly sheds blood - we were not spared/ Indeed, bound - bound to a limitless drop irregardless of the feel"
N O V A - The Sequel! I believe this is me stepping up and laying it all on ground-level, and possibly further below. A place I hope I am allowed me to turn your world upside down, uncrown you of the mind you supposédly own. I want to show you heaven, then want to show you hell. Now, therefore, understand: "N O V A" is not a blissful story of Cloud 9, nor a praise for death. No, I don't wish harm for you on Earth - nor cause evil to give birth - to worse. It is not a narrative of experience and affliction - nor a disarray - hopefully. "N O V A" is a piece of writing totally, spherical and devoid of lies. It is a stretch beyond the skies, and the birth of a burning gas. "N O V A" is simply a poetic compilation of questions: Do you know yourself? Now, do you understand what you can do?
"Behold, here walks a woman to trespass the grounds of impossibility without shame/ Beware, a Queen holds her baby besides her bosom whilst building speed upon a dark horse/ Unacquainted are we to a mother, a dame, who murders millions for meaning to remain/ Therefore, Belle, being a woman is a forever odyssey to uncovering a lethal weapon of giant force"
Bliss. Delight. Contentment. Euphoria. Elation. Joy. Glee. Felicity. Jubilation. These are all words synonymous to the word happiness. But what is true happiness? Happiness is that feeling of butterflies fluttering around in your chest, trying to break out. Happiness is that invisible fluid rushing in your veins, making you shiver in the most wonderful way. Happiness is the force that pulls your cheeks up into the widest smile and makes your eyes twinkle. Happiness makes you light-headed and giddy, it is in fact like alcohol. Well then, I am utterly and completely drunk.
When you're happy, everything feels amazing. Even small insignificant things like getting up in the morning. The golden hue of sunlight streaming in through the curtains feels like a soft caress from the hand of a lover. The birds seem to chirp sweetly outside, a melody to which the leaves sway as if mesmerised by their music. The curtains tango with the wind beautifully. Every little thing seems perfect. And that's a word I'd use to describe my life. Perfect.
To give you a little introduction about me, let me start by explaining the most important aspects of my life. I have a loving family. There's my sarcastic, yet surprisingly sweet brother, my beautiful mother (both in looks and spirit) and my stern, yet humorous father. I have the best best friend, Charlotte and I have an amazing boyfriend, Theo. I'm quite beautiful and popular too which I'm not saying to brag, I'm just stating the truth. So that is my life. The life of Tia-Jade Garcia.

What she didn't know was that every high has a low and that the higher you rise, the lower you fall and the more painful that fall is. Follow her story as she loses everybody she ever cared for and thereby her happiness. See her fight all of her demons by herself. Watch her fall in love...with herself because the only person's love you'll always need is yours.
This is her self-love story.
