Embracing Destiny

They say love is worth the risk, you should put yourself out there and
trust that your heart won’t be torn to shreds in the process… Well, in
my experience this is complete and utter shit. My mom put her heart out
there and what did she get in return? A broken heart. maybe a nice
settlement if they divorce? And the rest of her life alone.
What did it get me? A crushed heart.
No, thanks.
Everyone
sees me as strong, dependable, funny Mace. Well, they don’t know shit, I
could say my family knows me best but unfortunately that’s not the
case. I am strong, stronger than they know, every day I grin, I laugh
because I’m me, I could be dying inside and I’d still smile.
Life is too short and dull enough without another scowling face.

When
destiny throws herself in my path, literally. All my well laid plans to
enjoy my single life sampling all the fruits life can offer are blown
away with one look, one meeting of eyes… Seeing a kindred spirit, I see
through the veil she wears to hide her pain, her vulnerability.
