Blurb
It takes just one week to realize that you’re broken, but
not unfixable. ONE week to realize everything
doesn’t come with a price. One week to fall in love with love. One week to fall
in love with you.
Family torn apart at thirteen by a drunk driver.

can’t just let her walk out his door. Determined to help her whether she wants
the help or not, he sets out to find her and not a moment too soon.
It takes ONE day to realize the relationship you’re in isn’t
healthy and leave. TWO days to realize you’re as
pathetic as the loser you stayed with. THREE
days to get a combination of drugs out of your system. FOUR

realize that everything each and every one of those days has in common, is
the vibrant blue eyes that are staring at me
right now.
Excerpt
I’m
staring at myself in the mirror of my bathroom. It’s 3 am and I’m fighting with
my reflection. Each part of me is demanding to be brought to the surface. The
one looking at me is the girl I used to be. She’s begging to be let out, to be
more than a reflection. Then there’s me, the one in the here and now. The
damaged one looking to take over completely. Fighting. Always fighting, it’s
like a never ending battle raging within myself and I can’t stop it. I don’t
know how to stop it, I don’t know if I want to. It’s a constant reminder that
this is the path I chose. The path so off course that I don’t know if I can
ever return to the original one. I didn’t leave bread crumbs like Hansel and
Gretel, although those didn’t work out well with them either.
I walk out
of the bathroom and go to the bookcase to look for a book. I can see I’m not
going to be going back to bed anytime soon, I might as well do something
productive. Trying to do something to get my mind off of the war ragging
within. Running my fingers over the bindings of the books, head tilted to the
right reading the spines, when I come to this worn blue book. It looks
completely out of place from the others. Were they look new, you can tell this
one is old. It has no writing on the spine, so I pull it out to see what it is.
Inscribed on the front in the most beautiful cursive I have ever seen is the
word Divinity. Completely intrigued
by what this book is about I head over to the lamp by the bean bag, turn it on,
and collapse into the bean bag.
Page after
page of information on destiny and the paths we are on. Different people’s
takes on fate and whether they believe that we are all destined for a certain
path. There was a story about how this girl didn’t believe she would ever get
back to her given path, her destiny is what she called it. After years of
working to right the wrong she’s done in the past, she finally believed she was
on her predestined path and was finally happy. I close the book after her story
to think about what I’ve read. If they’re right and we are destined for
something, what the hell could I be destined for? How can this be the life laid
out for me by the fates? The weavers of life. I guess they have a sick sense of
humor. They pick people out to have issues to keep themselves entertained.
What if
the book holds truth? Can I be like that girl? Maybe I was on the right path up
until everything happened and I’ve been deviating ever since. Is there a way to
get back to that? To free the girl trapped in the mirror? But if she’s free
where would the present me go, into the mirror, or is there a way to merge the
two? Maybe accepting all that I’ve done for what it was will be the key to
becoming me again.

Magical spells really work!! I never thought there were still honest, genuine, trustworthy and very powerful spell casters until i met the spiritual helper, Olalude Abija. last week he did a love spell for me and it worked effectively and now he just casted another healing spell for my friend who has fibroid and now she is totally free and she is presently the happiest person on earth, she keeps thanking me all day..
ReplyDeleteI just thought it would be good to tell the whole world about his good work and how genuine he is, i wasn't thinking i could get any help because of my past experiences with other fake casters who could not bring my husband back to me and they all promised heaven and earth and all they are able to do is ask for more money all the time until i met with this man. he does all spells, Love spells, money spells, lottery spells e.t.c i wish i can save every one who is in those casters trap right now because i went though hell thinking and hoping they could help me.i recommend Abija for any kind of help you want in life. his email address is: spirituallighthealing101@live.com
if you want to ask me anything my e-mail is: mariambaurice@gmail.com
