Just to Make It Easier to Breathe
0.
When I was a little girl, I lived for mom’s dinner parties. All the guests, the gowns, the glittering jewellery, the music… I felt like a princess.
I learned to pose for photographs the same time I learned to walk, and I adored being fussed over before big events. I’ve lived a luxorious life and I was grateful for it.
But as I grew older I also learned to appreciate the little things, to see under the candy-coated cover of false-pretense. I learned not to trust blindly and I never flaunted my heritage.
I was not ashamed, but I was not proud either.
I’ve tried to live my life as an ordinary college girl, without attention and fuss. I never mentioned my family unless it was necessary.
And basically, that’s what caused my downfall.
Because if I did, I wouldn’t be in this mess right now.
