!! FAST-PACED, ONGOING, STILL GOING THROUGH EDITS !!

WARNING: Contains graphic content. Might be triggering to those who are going through symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other related mental health disorders.

Corinne Natalia Howard is everyone's "little miss perfect". She gets straight A's, and rarely messes up! But lately, she started acting different.

She started feeling... down.

About herself, her future.

Things are looking bleak for her and, like a broken pipe, hope and happiness is starting to leak out of her slowly. Everyone is blind to her suffering but that's okay.

If she was given recognition every time she fakes a smile or laugh, she would've won "Best Actress" at the Grammys by now.

"I must not crack under the pressure. I must not show my vulnerability. I must now show them that I have had enough. I must stay strong. I must stay intelligent."

~~~~~

"Natalia, it's starting to make me think that what if the expectations and pressure you always feel from 'others' were actually the ones that come... from you?"
