Life.
You're born, learn the simple things like walking and tying shoes. You go to school for an education. That education helps you get a job. You fall in love, get married, and have a family. Making friends along the way. Finally, you die.
That's all, right? It's that simple and that's it? Well, that's what everyone wants you to think.
No one ever mentions the heart break, frustrations, pain, stress, or anything else that's less than perfect. But you see. That's the thing, life isn't perfect.
At an early age, Ariel Evans came to the realization that life isn't perfect. She was never one to believe in fairy tails and happy endings. That's for those who are too naive to know the truth.
They never told us life would be this hard. But that doesn't mean it can't get better.

Only You (Book 2 The One series)
Remember when I said that a kiss or an award had a time limit on it? Well, if you find the right person to say "I love you" to, that doesn't go away. That doesn't vanish. That lingers on forever if you're especially lucky. Feeding it with more is always helpful, of course, but if you've found the person whose "I love you" never goes away, then you're probably doing your damndest to keep them in your life. So it never really leaves you. What it does do is color every bit of your life with a magical sheen of joy where even bad luck appears to turn around and become good once more. Broke your shoelace? Well, maybe you walked by a lottery machine on the way to buy more and won a thousand bucks. Who knows? Glass is half full and all of that. I didn't have such interesting luck, but I did find a new level of contentment with my life.

Then at 13, you'll think you can become a professional football player or become famous. By now, that Princess idea is sounding pretty realistic. But even when you're in college, you want to change. You never know. Well let me tell you one thing. That is not me. I've known what I've wanted to be since I could first talk. And believe me. When I say I'm going to do something, I do it.
