Crystal’s Brave Choice

Crystal had always loved music. It was the one thing that brought her joy and comfort during the darkest moments of her life. But she never had the chance to pursue it because of her mental health struggles.
At the age of seven, Crystal hit rock bottom and almost took her own life. It was a terrifying experience for her and her family, and it prompted them to take action. Crystal's parents made her sign a no suicide contract, promising that she would never harm herself again.
Years passed and Crystal continued to battle with her depression. But she found a glimmer of hope in the music she listened to. It was her escape, her therapy, her savior. One day, as she walked down the street, she stumbled upon a music store. Intrigued, she walked in, hoping to find some comfort in the instruments displayed.
As she explored the store, her eyes lit up when she saw a pink electric guitar, a keyboard, and a drum set. She had always dreamed of learning to play an instrument, but her family couldn't afford it. The realization hit her hard, and she felt tears pricking at her eyes. She wanted to cry and scream out of frustration, but she bit her lip and held back her emotions.
The owner of the music store saw how sad Crystal was, and he approached her with a warm smile. 'Hello there, young lady. Are you looking for something in particular?' he asked kindly.
Crystal shook her head, unable to find her voice. The owner then asked her what her favorite genre of music was, and Crystal replied with a soft voice, 'Rock.'
The owner's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he led her to the pink electric guitar. 'This one's perfect for you then. It's got a great sound and it looks badass too,' he said with a chuckle.
Crystal couldn't believe her luck. She had always loved the color pink, and the fact that it was a guitar made it even more special. But she couldn't afford lessons for all three instruments, and she knew she had to choose.
As she struggled with her decision, the owner 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 eyes widened with surprise and gratitude. She couldn't believe that this stranger was willing to help her.
Over the next few weeks, Crystal took her free lessons and fell in love with the guitar. It was challenging, but she found solace in the music, and it gave her a sense of purpose. After a few lessons, the owner invited Crystal to join the music store's band. It was a dream come true for her, and she eagerly accepted.
As Crystal played her guitar on stage for the first time, she felt alive. The music flowed through her veins, and she forgot about all her troubles. She saw the proud smiles on her parents' faces, and she knew that she had made the right choice. The pink electric guitar became her weapon against her demons, and she was determined to keep fighting for her happiness.
Crystal's brave choice not only saved her life but also gave her a newfound sense of purpose. She continued to play with the band, and they became local favorites. Whenever she looked at her pink electric guitar, she was reminded of the silver lining that brought her out of the darkness and into the light.
