Once upon a time, there was a girl. She laughed a lot, and did things - whatever she cared to do - impulsively and on a whim. And she hurt a lot of people who were close to her. "Do you not think about what you do?" they would ask. "Don't you see how your actions affect everyone else?"
Seeing the error in her ways, she tried to be more calm, to make everyone else happy, and do the things she was told a girl should.
Over time, she became unhappy. "I'm doing everything I'm supposed to," she would think to herself. "Why am I not happy?"
She realized she was trapped.
Trying to be someone she truthfully, deep down, was not.
"I have betrayed you," she said. But by now, there was only a dying flicker, and a wisp of smoke, of the boisterous, fearless, unruly girl she once was in her heart.
"Be free, live again!" she urged the dull glow. "What do I do to give you life once more?"
