I love the word alone. It makes me feel liberated, which I enjoy. It gives me the feeling that I am in charge of my own life rather than someone else's. I enjoy being alone because it provides me with peace—a sense of serenity and tranquility that can only be achieved when there are no distractions or disturbances to interrupt my thoughts. Someone came along the way asking to be part of my world. I wasn't happy with this idea because I was afraid to get hurt. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I would never be happy if I didn't attempt to be happy. As a result, I gave in and accepted them into my life. That's when everything changed. They showed me that it's okay to be yourself, even if everyone else thinks you're weird or strange or wrong—because you know what? You are who you are, and no one can change that! My life changed in an instant. It shook my world. Being surrounded by them put a smile on my face. Letting them in was the best choice I ever made. Then one day, all the dreams we shared crashed together. After all that happened, I asked myself, did I make the right choice in the beginning?
