Everything you see has a story behind it. Every building, every statue, every person. I have my own story, like anyone else has. My story does not involve damsels in distress or a hero on his noble steed. I am my own hero, I make my own path from the decisions, and mistakes, I make. I must save myself, but how? I will need to accept that love is real, but how? In my story, I must find that out for myself.
