Soren Kierkegaard once said, "Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced."
Nothing in life is perfect, but some things in life are perfect. Life will bring struggles, but then it will bring triumphs. We will have moments where we want to cry and moments where we can't stop laughing. That is just how life is, isn't it?
Well, what if you were given the chance to start again? To have a new life. Maybe even a perfect one.The catch, you have to forget everything about your first life. Would it be worth it? It is true you will forget all the sorrow and hard times. You will no longer know the people who made you feel pain. But you will also forget all the smiles and things you learned. All the people who made your days worth it. Would you give all that up for a second chance?
Izabelle Elaine Jacobs was given this opportunity. Will she find her new life was perfect or just another life with a different story?

Maze of memories
People always say every life should be cherished. That every single one of them is equally fragile and precious. Like a beautiful glass sculpture or the blossoming flowers in spring. But the thing is, everyone's definition of beautiful is different. Some people prefer roses over orchids. Some of them like sculptures of people whereas others like sculptures of animals. And so there are times when even the most beautiful sculpture gets thrown away like trash or forgotten somewhere because they found one that's prettier. The beautiful flowers that bloomed in spring will wither away and eventually become nothing but dust. There are times when a sculpture in itself could be really beautiful but a tiny flaw will make people deem it as a "mistake". The flowers that are left to wither away just because they miss a leave, or because they aren't the right size or the right colour. So you see that saying about every life being equally precious?, yeah that only counts for the "perfect" ones. Still some of these faulty sculptures and broken flowers managed to make it into the world. They would be facing the harsh reality of this world and would have to fight to survive. Some of them would unfortunately lose this fight in the end, leaving to a faraway place in hopes to find peace and quiet. Still just being able to make it this far in this harsh world is something to be proud of, as friends and family will forever remember these brave individuals who fought hard to survive until the very end.Complete
