She was always afraid of flying, the thought of falling down to the ground always scared her. She was scared she would become a failure and nothing good would come out of her. So she started this book to prove to herself that she is good enough and not a failure. She also wants to prove to others who think the same way she once did that they can also succeed.

Love is passionate,

but never underestimate what love can do to you,

because love is some kind of drug,

fun,

hallucinating,

dangerous,

and deadly.

Friends are important,

they brighten up your world,

whenever it gets dark,

they make you smile,

whenever things get worse,

they make you laugh louder,

by doing stupid things together,

and they accept you for who you are at all costs.

You’re a thief,

you stole my heart with sweet words,

telling me pretty little lies,

and I fell for it,

as you broke my heart into million of pieces, slowly,

I saw it coming,

but I couldn’t care less,

because I was head over heels for you,

and I still called that love,

even though you broke me.

My mom told me about the drugs on the street,

that it is dangerous,
