I like this a lot. It's a good story and sends a powerful message of not doubting yourself; one needs to go get your own destiny, not wait for someone to find you and then think that they would never love insignificant you. Assertiveness is not something I'm good at, sadly...
Right. Your story. The theme of roses was a nice tie on the whole piece, and it was simply and prettily written. I like the line of her falling to the security of utter depression--I hadn't thought of depression that way before. The "roar of silence" was also very good.
I don't really have any negative comments. Nice job.

lovely story. Uncore! (is that spelled rightly?)
