The Best Decision

Crystal had always struggled with feelings of sadness and hopelessness from a young age. At just seven years old, she had already attempted to take her own life multiple times. Her parents were concerned and desperate for a solution. That's when they heard about a therapy program that involved signing a no suicide contract.
The concept seemed simple enough. Crystal would have to promise not to harm herself and in return, she would receive counseling and support to deal with her issues. At first, Crystal was hesitant. She didn't think anyone could help her. But her parents pleaded with her and finally, she reluctantly signed the contract.
Years went by and Crystal started to feel better. She was able to manage her emotions and learned healthy coping mechanisms. However, the thought of suicide still lingered at the back of her mind. It was a constant battle, but she was determined to keep her promise and continue living.
One day, while taking a walk, Crystal stumbled upon a music store. She had always been drawn to music and was immediately intrigued. As she walked in, she saw a pink electric guitar, a keyboard, and a drum set. Crystal was fascinated by all three instruments and wished she could learn to play them all.
However, her family was not well off and could only afford lessons for one instrument. Crystal was torn between the three and couldn't make a decision. She was filled with sadness, thinking that she would never be able to pursue her love for music. Little did she know, fate had something else in store for her.
The owner of the music store noticed how distressed Crystal was and approached her. He asked her what was wrong and she poured her heart out to him. The owner, whose name was Mr. Thompson, listened patiently and then offered a solution.
He told Crystal that she could have one free lesson on each instrument and then decide which one she liked best. This was a dream come true for Crystal. She couldn't believe her luck and eagerly accepted Mr. Thompson's offer.
She started with the electric guitar and fell in love with it immediately. The pink color was just a bonus. Mr. Thompson was impressed by her progress and invited her to join the music store's band. Crystal was ecstatic. She had found a new passion and a family in the band members.
As she continued to improve, music became Crystal's therapy. She no longer had to struggle alone with her thoughts. Performing on stage brought her a sense of joy and purpose that she never thought was possible. Crystal's parents were delighted to see her happy and thriving.
Looking back, signing the no suicide contract was the best decision Crystal ever made. It not only saved her life but also led her to discover her true passion. She realized that life was worth living and that there was so much to live for. And as she strummed her pink electric guitar on stage, Crystal knew she had found her reason to keep going.
