Brave Choice

Crystal walked down the busy streets of the city, her mind drifting back to the darkest time of her life. She was only seven years old when she first felt the overwhelming desire to end her own life. The pain and loneliness seemed insurmountable, and she didn't know how to cope. It was in that moment that she made the brave choice to sign a no suicide contract, promising to never harm herself.
Years later, Crystal still struggled with depression, but she had managed to find joy in small things. She was now seventeen, walking down the same street, lost in her thoughts, when something caught her eye. It was a music store she had never noticed before. She had always loved music, but never had the opportunity to learn an instrument.
Curiosity got the best of her and she decided to go inside. As she entered the store, she was greeted by the sight of a pink electric guitar, a sleek keyboard, and a shiny drum set. A rush of excitement mixed with sadness washed over her. She knew her parents couldn't afford lessons for all three instruments.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she imagined what it would be like to play any one of those instruments. Suddenly, the owner of the store appeared next to her. He had noticed her sadness and wanted to help. He offered her a free lesson on each instrument so she could decide which one she liked best.
Crystal couldn't believe her luck. She eagerly accepted the offer and tried her hand at each instrument. As she played, she felt a sense of joy and freedom she had never experienced before. But one instrument captured her heart more than the others - the pink electric guitar. It was like it was made for her, with her favorite color and a sound that rocked her to her core.
After a few lessons, Crystal had become quite skilled at playing the guitar. She even joined the music store's band, playing alongside other talented musicians. The feeling of being part of something, of being accepted and appreciated, filled her with happiness.
She had finally found her passion and a community that accepted her for who she was. Crystal knew that this was the brave choice she needed to make all those years ago - to keep living and to never give up. And now, she was grateful for that second chance at life, surrounded by the sweet sound of her pink electric guitar.
