As I stood there in the quiet darkness of the night, my heart ached with the weight of my past mistakes. My name is Angelique and I am but 20 years old, yet it feels like an eternity since I last felt truly alive. It's been two long years since my father abandoned me for another woman, leaving me to fend for myself in this cruel world.
I recall that night vividly; the sound of his car speeding away, leaving behind only tears and despair. But even with all the pain he brought upon me, I still held onto hope - the hope that one day I'd find love again, true love that would make up for all my past heartaches.
It's funny how life works out sometimes; it seems like just yesterday I was a naive 18-year-old, fresh out of high school and full of dreams. But now, at 20, I'm faced with the harsh reality that love is but an illusion - a fleeting moment of happiness before it all comes crashing down.
I let my thoughts wander for a moment longer, the chill in the air a stark reminder of how far removed from happiness I truly am. With a deep breath, I push aside those haunting memories and instead focus on building myself up to be stronger, more resilient than ever before.
