It's amazing what you can hide with a fake smile...really it is. With one smile, you can kid the whole world that you're okay...heck you can kid yourself even for a little while. When life hands you lemons, they say you should make lemonade. But what happens when you've been thrown enough lemons that you're simply bruised and tired of it all? What happens then?

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

A Silver Lining
Completed. If life gives you lemon, make lemonade out of it. But if life gives you lemonade, what can you do with it? That's the situation Stella finds herself in when the Finch couple shows up at her doorsteps and reveals the darkest secret of her life. At that moment, Stella didn't think things could get any worse. If she then knew it was only the beginning of the longest chapter of her life. ... "And before you reach any conclusion, I don't like you, in any way." "Good because I don't like you either," He said bluntly. "I happen to love you." I barely had anytime to mule over his words before he grasped the back of my neck and pulled me tightly into his chest. He buried his face in my hair and whispered in my ears, "So, will you be my valentine?" His arms slid down around my waist and looked down at me hopefully. I stared back. I couldn't tell what was happening. I wanted to say yes, no, something. But nothing was coming out. It felt like I've lost my voice all of a sudden. I couldn't even trust my voice and felt my head nodding. And before I knew it, Ryan Anderson was kissing me. * cover picture collected from Pinterest* © 2018-2019 SIREXCC001 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.Complete
