The Right Choice

Crystal was suicidal at the age of seven. Because of this, she signed a no suicide contract. One day, years later, Crystal was walking down the street one day. Suddenly, she saw a music store. Crystal went into the music store. There, she saw a pink electric guitar, a keyboard, and a drum set. Crystal liked all 3, but she knew her parents could only afford lessons for one instrument. She was having a hard time deciding and was very sad. The owner of the music store saw how sad Crystal was and went over to talk to her. He told Crystal that she could have one free lesson on each instrument and then Crystal could decide which one she liked best. It was a difficult decision, but Crystal chose the pink electric guitar. Pink was her favorite color and the guitar rocked! After a few lessons, Crystal got very good and joined the music store band. Crystal was very happy!
Crystal had always felt like an outsider. From a young age, she struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts. At just seven years old, she had signed a no suicide contract, promising to never harm herself. But as she got older, the weight of the world only seemed to increase, and with it, her desire to end it all.
One day, years later, Crystal was walking down the street, lost in her own thoughts. Suddenly, she saw a music store. It seemed to call out to her, and before she knew it, she was walking through the front doors.
Inside, the store was filled with musical instruments of all shapes and sizes. Crystal's eyes were immediately drawn to a beautiful pink electric guitar, sitting on a stand in the center of the store. Next to it were a keyboard and a drum set. Crystal had always loved music, but her family couldn't afford lessons for more than one instrument.
Feeling overwhelmed, Crystal sat on a nearby bench and stared at the three instruments. A wave of sadness washed over her as she realized that she would have to choose just one. How could she pick? They all seemed to hold a piece of her heart.
The owner of the store, a kind-looking man with a beard, noticed Crystal's distress and came over to talk to her. He introduced himself as Mr. James and asked her what was wrong. Crystal poured her heart out to him, telling him about her struggles and her love for music.
Mr. James listened patiently and then offered her a solution. He told Crystal that she could have one free lesson on each instrument and then decide which one she liked best. Crystal's eyes widened in surprise and gratitude. She couldn't believe that a stranger would be so kind.
The following weeks were filled with music. Crystal had her first lesson on the pink electric guitar, and she immediately fell in love with it. The bright color and the powerful sound captivated her. She tried her hand at the keyboard and the drums, but nothing could compare to the guitar.
As the weeks went by, Crystal's skills on the guitar improved greatly. Mr. James noticed her talent and invited her to join the music store band. Crystal was overjoyed and quickly became a valuable member of the band, playing her pink guitar with passion and skill.
Music became Crystal's source of happiness and hope. She no longer felt like an outsider, but a part of something special. She poured her heart and soul into her music, and it brought her peace and joy.
Years went by, and Crystal's music continued to flourish. She even started writing her own songs, expressing her feelings and connecting with others who were also struggling. Her music became a way to spread love and hope to others, just as Mr. James had done for her.
As she looked back on that day in the music store, Crystal knew that it was the right choice. Her pink electric guitar had not only saved her, but it had also given her a new family and a purpose. And she was forever grateful for that unexpected encounter and the kindness of a stranger.
