The Music that Saved Me: Crystal's Journey from Suicidal to Rockstar

Crystal was just seven years old when she first thought about ending her life. She felt alone, misunderstood, and overwhelmed by her own thoughts. Her parents, who were always busy with work, never noticed the pain behind her fake smiles. Her classmates teased her for being too quiet and strange. Crystal felt like she didn't belong anywhere, and every day seemed to be a struggle.
To make things worse, Crystal's parents decided to move to a new city when she was eleven. She left behind the few friends she had and her school. Crystal's thoughts became darker, and she found herself thinking more and more about ending it all. That's when her parents discovered her suicide attempt and decided to make her sign a no suicide contract. Crystal forced a grin on her face and signed the paper, not knowing what else to do.
Years passed, and Crystal continued to struggle with her thoughts. She went through the motions of life, but she never truly felt alive. Until one day, she was walking down the street and saw a music store. As if drawn by an invisible force, Crystal went inside, her heart beating with excitement.
Inside, she saw a pink electric guitar, a keyboard, and a drum set. Crystal's eyes widened with wonder, and she immediately fell in love with all three instruments. But she knew her parents could only afford lessons for one of them. Crystal's heart sank as she realized she would have to choose.
Tears stung her eyes as she tried to decide between the three instruments. She couldn't bear the thought of leaving any of them behind. The owner of the music store noticed her distress and approached her with a warm smile.
'What's wrong, little one?' he asked kindly.
'I-I want to learn how to play all of these instruments, but my parents can only afford one,' Crystal replied, her voice trembling.
The owner's eyes softened, and he patted her on the back. 'Don't worry, I have an idea. How about I give you one free lesson on each instrument, and then you can decide which one you like best?'
Crystal's face lit up, and she nodded eagerly. She couldn't believe her luck. The thought of learning how to play all three instruments made her heart flutter with excitement.
And so, she had her first lesson on the pink electric guitar, and it was like nothing she had ever experienced before. The music she created with her fingers felt like an extension of her soul. Her sadness melted away, and she felt alive for the first time in years. She then had her lessons on the keyboard and the drum set, and each one brought her the same sense of joy and belonging.
It was a difficult decision, but Crystal finally chose the pink electric guitar. The owner's words echoed in her mind – 'Choose the one that speaks to your heart.'
From that day on, Crystal spent every free moment she had at the music store. She practiced tirelessly, and before she knew it, she was asked to join the music store band. It was a dream come true for Crystal.
Slowly, the dark thoughts that haunted her began to disappear. She found solace in the music, and she no longer felt alone. She had finally found her passion and a place where she belonged.
Years later, Crystal's band became a success, and they went on tour all around the world. Crystal was now known as a rockstar, and her fans looked up to her with admiration and inspiration. But to Crystal, the real star was the music that saved her life.
She often thought back to that day when she walked into the music store, and she couldn't help but feel grateful for the owner's kindness and for the music that saved her. Crystal's journey was a difficult one, but she was grateful for every moment because it brought her to where she was now – a strong, confident, and passionate musician.
