It was a rainy day, and I was sitting on a chair, in church. When I started staring at the window, and I could see grey clouds, tree leaves, and a lot of things, and that's when I finally got it, I was falling into pieces like I promise myself I wouldn't. I was letting myself down, and I couldn't bare it anymore. So I'm going to start as long ago as my memory allows me, and that's not too much. I don't remember too much about my life, I'm not like those kind people who can remember all, since they started kindergarten, I don't have those memories in my head, I look at my photos from my childhood and usually when the memories should comeback to us, to me, it doesn't happen. I can barely remember my first years of high school. I have flashbacks of my life. Once I read a medical file, where it said that sometimes when people suffer a big trauma, or a physiological issue, the brain shuts down, and block some areas from memories to either heal itself or to stop the pain. Funny how brain works, I didn't believe that. Funny thing is that I never thought it would happen to me. "It's not the book who's on trail, but the readers" - Unknown

***this book contains suicidal thoughts and tendencies, may not be appropriate for younger audiences*** In which she looks for the purpose of life. Lily Carter's parents died in a car crash leaving her and Laura, girl was depressed long before her parents passed away and with all the problems turning up now, Lily felt more miserable - if that's even possible. With her journey to look for life's purpose and grab the small pinch of HOPE - which is ironically her second name -, will she finally snap at the pressure and finally end it all? or will a small light lit her darkened world of grief and loneliness? * "So you know. The little goth girl who gets bullied is indeed a mess. There's this mess in her head that eats her alive everyday isn't it? What to do now Kaden? Tell the whole neighborhood and recieve an award for taking out a crazy in this world?" I spit like vomit. His eyes warmed up as I finished, "Lily. It isn't like that" "What is it then? People stopped caring... they gave up, why aren't you?" I fought my tears. "Because I feel the need to care. Did Leigh hurt you? Did she hit you?" he finally noticed the unusual redness of my cheek. I don't like the way he told me he needed to care for me. I felt like an obligation, a responsibility that he is carrying and carrying leads to getting tired and when people gets tired, they give up. I don't want them to give up on me. But they will, so it's good not to make them care for me in the first place. "I never needed anyone. I stopped needing anyone before, why start now?" I uttered the words again. Why? There is nothing to fight for. No mama. No papa. No sister to love me. No one. So why would I waste my life and the time of others to fix what is already broken - and someone who doesn't want to be fixed? If I may add. Maybe I gave up. No, scratch that. I gave up a long time ago - when my parents died, my hope and purpose went away with them.
