And The Mood Swings Back and Forth...

There once was a girl. She was pretty ok. She smiled a lot and laughed a lot and had lots of friends. But then one day, the girl met a boy. And she lost her heart to him. And then he broke it into a million pieces.

For a long time, the girl could do nothing but cry. Cry and mourn and hide the pieces in a drawer. And then anger came to visit. And took up a lot of room in that hole where her heart once was. So, all that sadness made friends with the anger which then turned into fear. She became a very difficult person to be around.

After a time, she decided it was time to try and fix it. She got out her tool box, and got to work. She used lots of things. Craft glue, tape, ribbons, and even some glitter. She wanted it to be pretty again. It made her smile everytime she thought of a new way to make it shine again. And she started to feel happy again. She thought maybe now she could put her heart back. So she did.

It seemed to be holding up pretty good in there. She smiled more, and laughed a lot and became a better person to be around. But, soon, it became clear that she hadn't completely moved the Fear out. And her freshly mended heart was having trouble dealing with the sadness that was still there.

And that made her angry which in turn made her sad which in turn made her fearful all over again.

She felt like a mess of a girl. And crawled back under the covers.

Maybe she could add some more glitter tomorrow.
