If, you've met me, you know that for a short period of time my 'happy' world stopped turning and I was falling head first into the dark abyss that was in my head.

I was hurting, and a certain boy took pieces of me and never gave them back. A 'friend' took more pieces, broke them more and left. People whom I thought I could trust shattered me more and moved on. But, over time, those pieces were taped and glued back into place. I learned a lot about what was and what isn't important in life, and with the help of some ~extraordinary~ quotes I found away of of the abyss.
