People say there is no such thing as perfect. Once upon a time, I thought they were lying. 

My life was everything I could dream of. Little five year old me was the happiest girl in the world. She had a family that she loved. A family that loved her back. A dad who smiled just from the joy of life. A mom whose eyes sparkled with absolute bliss as her gaze fell over her family. A brother who always protected her and looked upon her with brotherly pride. This love was a crystal that she held in her hands as if it were her dearest possession. But time passes. And one day, the crystal always cracks. And when it cracks, it eventually shatters. 

People say there is no such thing as perfect. Once upon a time, I thought they were lying. Now, I know they were telling the truth.
