I grew up an angry kid in foster care, considered unplaceable at one point, so no one wanted to take me in. I got used to it, let it harden me and separate me from the hurt.
Until someone opened their home to me and gave me a chance, cracking the armor I kept up.
It didn't change the pattern of my life, but it changed everything else about me, and I will always love the "Taylors" for it.

Tell Me Pretty Lies
From the second you're in this world they tell you what is fair. What questions your allowed to ask and the ones you can never dare say. I find it damn near funny that most of you are reading this and know exactly what I mean. They put you on the path they've paved for you as kids we don't question it or even wonder if it's right for you. But beyond your paths edges is a land made up of risks and dangers. You feared it they tell you no good will come from it but how do you really know? Truth be told I was the girl who had her whole life planned out for her, straight A's, best friend, and two loving parents. I know what I wanted what I needed and I knew how to fight like hell for it. There's a reason why everyone prefers pretty lies over the bitter truth and it's usually because they can't handle the truth but I think the most likely thing is they can't handle what happens to the person once the truth comes out that's what happened to me. I was happy the way things were and then one day everything blew up in my face. Maybe the happy girl I was would have been happy living a lie for the rest of her life but no matter what the truth always comes out. So I ask you what would you have wanted the bitter truth or the pretty lie?![Promise Me //1D Completed [✔️]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/42329553-256-k489471.jpg)
Promise Me //1D Completed [✔️]
The Foster Care system is a home to a millions of diverse and unique young adults. Strangely, the system attracts the hearts of five unlikely young men to learn a thing or two about raising a young girl. I'll mention, these five are no match against one deeply experienced girl. The fear of being left behind is the greatest coat of armor a foster child can wear, protections them from disappointment, attachment, pain. Alone. Yes, that's the key word, the most awful word to the English tongue. Murder doesn't hold a candle to it and hell is just a poor synonym.Complete
Found Family
It wasn't a question but I answered anyway "Of course. They are family." "What if they don't feel the same way?" "Then that's understandable. They had their trust broken at a very early age by the people who were supposed to protect and love them. I have been very open with them and have told them several times that they are family to me now. I have also said that if they don't feel the same then that's okay. Either way it's my job to protect and love them" This story embodies the trope of Found Family. I originally wrote it as a comfort story for myself, but figured someone else might also need the same comfort I get from it.Complete
