It seemed that all Savannah Benson would amount to was a mess. An unstable girl who couldn't erase her past, and let her demons continue to haunt her day after day, night after night. There was too much wrong with her to even consider fixing her. With no hope for change and a life full of never-ending issues, someone suddenly comes along to throw her off her self-loathing, cold-shoulder routine. The possibility of letting them in doesn't seem so hard, which is the one thing she fears the most, except she can't help it. It's the easiest thing that's happened to her in a long time, and that's what makes it so terrifying. This is not a fairy tale where everyone lives happily ever after - this is a story about love, loss, and every struggle in between. It might break your heart, but at least you'll feel something. ⚡️⚡️⚡️ "and when i need the fire, you're always my l i g h t e r" « #freementalillness »
