Note- This is my first not fanfiction post. I'm hoping to have reviews (hint) well enjoy cause it's the best that I've written.

"I feel the darkness closing in Tried to be more than me And I gave 'til it all went away And we've only surrendered To the worst part of these winters We've made" -Matchbox Twenty

I've learned a lot in my life. Well, this life anyhow. I shudder to think of how I used to be. I was whiny and spoiled. I was only happy when I got my way. But now, I've grown up a little. And through the course of my life I have had many realizations.

Only one thing really sticks out to me as I stand here looking down at the city. I've had a lot of pain in my life and I'm sure I'm going to have a lot more. But over the years I've discovered something; pain is good. Pain let's you know that you're still alive. It's when that pain stops that you are truly dead.

I suppose that I should introduce myself. My name is Celest. But it didn't use to be. When my story begins my name was Faith. I changed it when it lost meaning to me. I was still human when my story begins.
