The Courageous Choice

Crystal had always struggled with her mental health. Ever since she was a little girl, she had been overwhelmed with feelings of sadness and hopelessness. It had gotten so bad that by the time she was seven years old, she had even considered ending her own life.
But one day, Crystal's parents found out about her thoughts and acted quickly. They took her to a therapist who helped her work through her emotions and taught her coping strategies. As part of her therapy, Crystal was asked to sign a no suicide contract promising that she would never harm herself.
Years had passed since that difficult time in Crystal's life. She was now a teenager, still dealing with her struggles, but in a much healthier and happier state. One day, as she was walking down the busy street in her neighborhood, she stumbled upon a small music store. Music had always been a source of comfort for Crystal, so she decided to take a look inside.
As she browsed through the store, she saw a pink electric guitar, a keyboard, and a drum set. Crystal loved music and had always dreamed of learning how to play an instrument, but her parents had never been able to afford lessons. She felt a sense of sadness wash over her as she knew that she wouldn't be able to take up any of these instruments.
But the owner of the store noticed how downcast Crystal looked and approached her. He asked her what was wrong and she explained her situation. The owner, who had a kind and understanding demeanor, offered her a solution. He told her that she could have one free lesson on each instrument and then decide which one she liked best. Crystal's face lit up, she couldn't believe her luck.
Over the next few weeks, Crystal took lessons on the guitar, keyboard, and drums. It was a difficult decision, but after much contemplation, Crystal chose the pink electric guitar. It was love at first sight. With its vibrant color and edgy style, the guitar seemed to call out to her.
And as she took more lessons and practiced, Crystal realized that playing the guitar brought a sense of peace and joy to her life. She poured all her emotions into each strum, and it was like therapy for her. She got so good that the owner of the music store asked her to join their band. It was a dream come true for Crystal.
Being a part of the band gave Crystal a newfound sense of purpose and belonging. She made friends with the other members and was able to express herself through music. Her parents were overjoyed to see her passionate and happy again.
As Crystal looked back on her journey, she couldn't believe how far she had come. From being a suicidal seven-year-old to a member of a music band, she had made the courageous choice to keep fighting and never give up on herself. And although she still had her struggles, her love for music gave her the strength to overcome any obstacle that came her way.
