Crystal’s Choice

Crystal had always struggled with depression since she was just a child. Her family had noticed her behavior and immediately took her to a therapist. There, she was diagnosed with depression and suicidal thoughts. As part of her treatment, Crystal had to sign a no suicide contract, promising to seek help and not harm herself.
Years passed and Crystal's depression was under control. She had become a successful college student and was on her way to fulfilling her dream of becoming a doctor. However, one day as she was walking down the street, she saw a music store and couldn't help but feel drawn to it.
As she stepped inside, the sight of the pink electric guitar, keyboard, and drum set caught her attention. Crystal had always loved music and had a natural talent for it. She had played the piano since she was a child but had stopped once her depression took over.
Crystal stood there, torn between the three instruments. She knew her parents could only afford lessons for one instrument and she couldn't bear to choose just one. The owner of the music store noticed her dilemma and approached her with a kind smile.
'Is everything okay?' he asked.
Crystal hesitated at first but then opened up to him about her struggle with choosing an instrument and how it brought back her love for music.
The owner, whose name was Mark, listened attentively and then offered to help. He told Crystal that she could have one free lesson on each instrument and then decide which one she liked best. This way, she could make an informed decision without any pressure.
Crystal's face lit up with excitement and gratitude. She couldn't believe someone would be so kind and understanding. She eagerly accepted the offer and started her lessons.
After trying out all three instruments, Crystal was torn between the keyboard and the pink electric guitar. Both instruments spoke to her in different ways. The keyboard allowed her to express her emotions through the keys while the guitar made her feel like a rockstar.
As she was struggling to make a decision, Mark suggested she join the music store band and perform with each instrument to get a better feel. Crystal agreed and joined the band.
On the day of the performance, Crystal's heart filled with joy as she played both the keyboard and guitar with passion and confidence. However, when she finished her final song on the pink electric guitar, the stage erupted with cheers and applause. Crystal knew deep down that it was the guitar that had truly stolen her heart.
She went to Mark and with a huge smile on her face, she thanked him and told him she had made her choice. She wanted to continue her lessons on the pink electric guitar.
From that day on, Crystal spent all her free time in the music store, practicing and honing her skills. She joined the music store band and they quickly gained popularity in the local community.
Crystal's confidence grew, and her passion for music ignited once again. The guitar became her outlet for her emotions and she found solace in playing.
Years later, Crystal looked back at that day in the music store and realized it was a turning point in her life. She had found a new love and purpose through music. With the support of her family and Mark, she had overcome her depression and found happiness in the most unexpected way.
Crystal's choice of the pink electric guitar had not only brought her joy and fulfillment, but it had also given her a new family and a sense of belonging. She was grateful for the lesson she had learned that day - to never give up and to always follow her heart.
