Once upon a time
there was a beautiful angel. Most everyone liked her. Not only was she gorgeous, but
she was also had a fantastic personality. But of course this made some of the other angels
extremely jealous. So the jealous angels got together and came up with a plan. They dec-
-ided they would push the beautiful angel from Heaven. She fell to Earth, and was
immediately frightened by the world around her. There was such unimaginable pain,
suffering, cruelty, tragedy and heartbreak. It was as though her soul was too pure, too
innocent. She loved too hard, she cared too much. How was it fair? She ventured
further into the new world, feeling so very vulnerable as though her halo had fallen &
her wings had broken. How was she supposed to go on? How was she to live in such
a place? But give up, she did not. Although all that she had was crumbling around her,
she clung to what she had left. She clung to hope that a better day was just around the
corner. No matter how much hurt she felt, & no matter how lonely and broken she was,
she never ever gave up. She tried to see the light in the darkness, and never left
that world take her smile from her face. A few years later, she woke up to birds
chirping & the beautiful sky stretching as far as the eye could see. She also woke
with a realization. Yes, she had suffered through pain for so long- but she had
survived. She had looked Life right in the eyes & held her ground. Life had smiled
right back at her, & grew to respect her. It wasn't that Life was trying to break her;
it was simply that Life was creating her. Life was preparing her for her future. She
learned so many things, including her own strength. She also learned that Life did not
owe her a single thing. She grew to hold everything she loved close to her, even if that
made her vulnerable. She didn't care; she learned that it was worth it. Yes, sometimes
people would hurt you, betray you, or turn out to be someone else completely; but there
were also good people. Amazing people. Everyone that had been in and out of her life
had a purpose. They taught her something, and helped her to grow. She realized that
after so much had happened, she had finally found peace. She was content, she was
happy; she had found her Heaven on Earth and she did not regret a single thing.
That angel is you
