One day, there was a young woman who found it difficult to express her emotions. After enduring years of hurt, pain, and blood-stained blankets, she believed she had finally found someone who could support her through her hardships. Unfortunately, this person exploited and deceived her, causing even more harm. As a result, she became an angry and agitated teenager. She started getting into fights, hiding from others, and increasingly harming herself. In one particularly intense fight, she broke another adolescent's nose, which left her feeling terrible. This incident led her to court, where she had to plead her case. The court suggested counseling and a long-term stay in a mental facility to her parents. She proposed that they allow her to try to fix things on her own. However, due to her history of self-harm, the court disagreed and sent her to a long-term mental facility anyway. After her release, she realized how good her life could be and how much she loved being at home. She worked on repairing her mindset and began to follow the rules of life. Gradually, she reclaimed her sense of self and started to love herself again. But this stability was short-lived. She attempted suicide and failed three times. It was then that she looked at her siblings and realized she needed to live for them. She wanted to be there when they graduated from elementary school, middle school, and high school, when they got married, and when they had their first children. She understood she had to be present for all of their milestones. They had already lost their older brother to Shaken Baby Syndrome; they couldn't lose her too. So, while she may not want to stay for herself, she found a reason to stay. A reason to get up every morning. A reason to learn how to drive. A reason to think beyond tomorrow. She loves them more than she could ever love herself, and that is enough for her.
