The Things You Thought You Were

In front of the christmas tree is an innocent little girl that is ten years old. Posing as if she's the only one who exist, she grins and raises her left eyebrow with her hands on her hips. While she was smiling, her sister was full of excitement, sharing words with the red suited man who comes down the chimney every December. Their mother gawks at her oldest daughter, paired with a never ending smile that their family could never see upside down.Things change like the thick, hot air in the Summer to the crisp, thin air in the Winter. Her sisterremebers her as her best friend, the one who would sneak into each others rooms in the middle of the night to share secrets and stories or the one who would play with Bratz and transform their room into a Bratz house. The years pasted and the Bratz dolls became friends with the dust bunnies, and the innocent girl in the photo was no longer innocent and no longer her sister's best friend. She wanted to find out who she was, and started with the "party road" and it stuck, just like her sister was stuck to her. This ten year old innocent girl never knew how rough of a road could be. The road she went down was a road that had been through an earthquake, a road that if you went down, it would be difficult to make a U-turn on. It breaks her family's hearts to know now what she didnt know then, that her life would fall short, fall miserably short. The road ended with a dead end, and no she wasnt able to make a U-turn.
