Dear Journal, A Prologue to the Story,

Love doesn’t last forever, in fact, it fades quite quickly, but everyone remembers their first love. As cliché as it sounds, I remember my first love as if it were yesterday, but in actuality it was only a decade ago, and it seems like that decade wasn’t so long. I was seventeen years old, too young to completely understand the effects of what I did, not that I regretted it, he didn’t either. I still don’t – it was a wonderful moment in my life and learned many things from it – or so I claim, but really, it was just a romance like any other. It holds good and bad memories, both of which are quite fun to remember.

Hi. My names Fayette. Yeah, a girl’s name and I’m a guy – so what?

Just don’t call me that.

Call me Fate.
