She couldn't stand people being happy,it made her mad.
She had many wishes only some were fulfilled.
She made mistakes,lots of them that couldn't be erased.
She had to find her way because finding her way meant wishes coming true, mistakes becoming blessings and being forgiven and most importantly the happiness she loathed and yearned for being found.
~
Faith was a typical girl and like every typical girl she should be normal and have normal things right?
She should be able to look up to her parents, share every achievement with them but no she didn't because she didn't want to and couldn't.
She didn't want to associate with them for fear of turning up like them.
She didn't want to be normal like most children who wish to be like their parents because one was constantly sleeping around and the other abandoned them.
She wanted to break free and be her own person.
But how does a person restructure broken foundations into something beautiful and enviable?
