Like all little<br \/>\ngirls, she started out life happy and sweet but over time, she grew more and<br \/>\nmore sad. You see, this little girl, unlike most little girls learned early on<br \/>\nin life that she wasn&#8217;t wanted. Her parents gave her away because they didn&#8217;t<br \/>\nwant her.&nbsp; Then, the people who took her<br \/>\ntreated the other little girl there better than they did her. The little girl<br \/>\nwas always smiling on the outside though because she learned that if you cry<br \/>\nout the outside; if you showed people your hurt, they would only take that and<br \/>\nhurt you more. So, she always smiled and she was always happy. She was a sweet<br \/>\nsoul. She would do her best to make sure everyone else was happy, even if she<br \/>\ncouldn&#8217;t be. As she grew up, so did the sadness. It became a part of her but<br \/>\nnobody but her knew about it. She couldn&#8217;t remember a time when the sadness<br \/>\nwasn&#8217;t living inside of her. <\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nOne day, she met this man. Her sadness knew his sadness and<br \/>\nover time, they became friends and she even found little pieces of happiness<br \/>\nwith him. Her sadness didn&#8217;t like this though and neither did his. If they were<br \/>\nhappy, the sadness would have to leave. So the sadness planted thoughts in<br \/>\ntheir heads. They told her that one day he would hurt her and leave her. They told<br \/>\nhim that she wanted far more than she had ever said. They muddled their words<br \/>\nand soon, the man and the woman started being sad together. He listened to his<br \/>\nvoices and pulled away from her. He took away parts of what had made them so<br \/>\nspecial together. As he pulled away, she listened to the voices that said &#8220;See?<br \/>\nI told you that he never really wanted you.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nThey tried to fight the sadness. They tried to be this new<br \/>\nthing, but slowly the sadness were winning. Slowly they pulled away from one<br \/>\nanother. She spent nights crying herself to sleep because all she wanted was<br \/>\nfor him to treat her like he used to. He grew anxious as he gave into his<br \/>\nsadness. Where once they had been an amazing team, now they struggled to find<br \/>\nthemselves. The sadness was taking over their lives and it seemed they were<br \/>\nhelpless to stop it.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nShe grew panicked. She was watching the one and only good<br \/>\nthing to happen to her slip away and she was helpless to stop it. She tried<br \/>\nwhat she knew. She knew they had been happy once and desperately she tried to<br \/>\nrecapture that but it takes two willing people to hold onto something and the<br \/>\nvoices, the sadness had slowly sapped away his interest. It was too late. What<br \/>\nthey&#8217;d had together was gone and unless they could hold onto each other and<br \/>\ndrive the sadness away, there was no hope. Deep inside, she knew that this was<br \/>\nit. This was her chance at life. Without this, she would give up. She would<br \/>\nwither away on the inside and slowly wither away on the outside but she needed<br \/>\nhim to try as hard as she was. She needed him to be the same man who would get<br \/>\nexcited just by the sound of her voice. <\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nIn the end, they couldn&#8217;t hold on. They let go and in that<br \/>\nmoment, the sadness consumed them. They were alone once more, never to join<br \/>\ntogether.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/div>\n<div>\n<i>I was going through some files tonight and came across this.
