Once upon a time there was a girl. All her life she had been called names, ridiculed for how she looked, acted and thought. And it changed the girl. Her once cheerful smile dimmed, until there was nothing but an empty person, hiding behind a fake smile. No longer did she respond to the world, for she was numb. And, in it all, she lost her faith in herself and in all people. Then one day she met a boy who changed that. He did not treat her like the rest of the world, but he only showed love and tenderness towards her. He called her words she had not heard in a while. Words like beautiful. And he broke through the shell. What was once empty and lifeless was filled with hope and light. And the boy did not believe her when she said things like she wasn’t an angel, or wasn’t good. Because he turned her into those things. He turned her into light and love and laughter. His voice broke through the numbness and his alone. And it seemed that maybe, she could learn to love again… thanks to that boy.
