An innocent young girl stands on the busy road unaware of the terrifying danger that surrounds her. In her grey eyes that shine as the bright sunlight of this warm summer day hits them, she sees the world as an amazing and wonderous place with many intersting and new things to offer to her every single day. She loves life. She adores the chance to live another day and experience all that was around her. Although the picture-perfect world offered so much for her to see, do, touch, and experience, a lot of the time she was travelling her own young mind and imagining the future. Her perfect beach wedding where her stunning husband would carry her off into the orange-glowing sunset, the amazing time she would have with other young children in the classroom littered with toys she had never seen, and how life would be the very next day. This is what she was doing on the freshly-paved road as cars of all shapes and colors zoomed by her. She jokes around spreading her mouth with her little fingers, opening it to stick out her tounge. A roaring car speeding towards her doesn't slow down as the driver is distracted by messages flowing through the screen on his phone. She opens her eyes and they widen to their full extent, but it is far too late for her to avoid anything. She flies into the ditch and sees her short life flash before her eyes. The last thought to cross her mind before slipping into a dark unconciousness is.... Life kills.
Many years later the world seems much darker and gloomier. The sun never seems to shine and the girl that had existed no longer did. She had survived, but she had changed. She fears the dangers of life and life itself. She questions everything. Why must we sleep 1/3 of our lives, slave away 1/3 and waste the rest in fear and worry? What is life for if not for living? Why couldn't she just stay the girl she use to be, filled with wonder, curiosity and lots of joy. Her eyes sparkled looking out of the seemingly-harmless world and from the light of life but, now she looks at the world as a prison that cages you inside, with no hope to escape freely. You're forced to live a specific way until you certainly deminish. Why is it we need to work and slave to live another day, to do it all over again? The questions flood her mind, overflowing, as she looks at the old photo of her younger self one last time...This time she studies it closer than she ever had before. She notices small details she never had prior. There wasn't a smile on her face but it was still showing, she was deeply in danger but didn't move a pace. She was so lost in her infinity imagination that reality seemes so distant and blocked out. At that point in her life she hadnt started school yet. She hadn't experienced the stress of drowning in homework and feeling scared and isolated at school. She hadn't had the dark thoughts that flooded her mind today. Her mind was happier because she kept it that way. Since that moment the car almost took away her life she had changed. The realization that life can end at any moment, as fast as a snap-of-the-fingers, scared her out of living life at all. Although she couldn't go back in time she did realize she could still change and live her life. She could still be the innocent girl she once was, and have a smile once again.
