"It's a rollercoaster, and you'll never know what it's like to be so high then fall so low." 
-- Hayden Black to Sarah Decker 
(Bullied by VeraHollins -- now published) 

Once upon a time is usually the start of a story with a happy ending. But my story isn't over yet. I'm still alive after all. So instead this is Once Upon A Now. The story of a girl who was normal but unique. The story of a girl who took pride in her uniqueness, the story of a girl who was never given love so she gave it to herself. The story of a girl who learned what ice was even when her heart called out to fire. The story of a girl who smiled so mask the tears. This story of a girl who is young, too young to be feeling like this. The story of a girl who does feel like this. The story of a girl who loved herself but felt worthless. The story of a girl who felt too much, saw too much, heard too much and then suddenly it all became too much. This is the story of many girls, but it's also the story of one girl. These girls story is not at it's beginning, nor is it at it's end. It's might be at the end of the beginning though.

This is for all of you who feel like the world hates you. Who takes a blade to their skin. Who looks them self in the mirror and criticizes themselves. Who is hurt on the outside. Who is broken on the inside. Who feel the need to stay strong and cry by themselves in the dark emptiness. Who feel like they have no one when they are surrounded by millions. Who are hit. Who are tortured. Who are hurt. Who weep. Who need a hug from someone once in a while to unload the hurt.
