A Stroke of Luck

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. She struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts since a very young age, causing her parents to worry constantly about her wellbeing. To ease their minds, Crystal agreed to sign a no suicide contract when she was only seven years old.
As she grew older, she still struggled with her mental health, but she always kept her promise and never acted on her thoughts. But sometimes, it felt like a constant battle to keep going.
One day, while walking down the street, Crystal stumbled upon a music store. She had always loved music, but with her family's financial struggles, she never had the opportunity to explore her musical talents. As she peered through the store's window, her eyes landed on a beautiful pink electric guitar, a keyboard, and a drum set. Her heart raced with excitement, but also sadness, knowing that her family could only afford lessons for one instrument.
Feeling disheartened, Crystal decided to go inside the store and admire the instruments up close. The owner, a kind middle-aged man, noticed her sad expression and approached her.
'Is everything okay, young lady?' he asked.
'I really love music, but my family can only afford lessons for one instrument. I don't know which one to choose,' Crystal explained with a heavy heart.
The owner smiled, understanding her dilemma. He then surprised Crystal by offering her one free lesson on each instrument. Crystal couldn't believe her luck and eagerly agreed.
Over the next few weeks, Crystal tried her hand at the guitar, keyboard, and drums. She enjoyed all of them, but the pink electric guitar captured her heart. Not only was it her favorite color, but it also made her feel empowered and strong when she played it.
The owner was impressed with Crystal's progress and offered her a spot in the store's band. Crystal couldn't believe it; she had never been a part of something like this before. She joined the band and found joy in making music with others.
As time went on, Crystal's passion and skills for the guitar grew. She found an outlet for her emotions through music, and it helped her cope with her struggles in a way she never thought possible.
Crystal's parents were ecstatic to see their daughter so happy and thriving. They even bought her a pink electric guitar of her own as a birthday present. With her newfound love for music, Crystal's life had taken a complete 180-degree turn.
She now had a reason to get up in the morning, to keep going no matter how tough things got. The no suicide contract she signed years ago felt like a distant memory, as Crystal had found her passion and a newfound sense of hope and purpose in life. And it all started with a stroke of luck at a music store.
