"You deserve more than this you know."

"...Excuse me?"

"I've seen that look a million times. It isn't hard to tell what you're feeling."

"Oh really, what am I feeling then?"

"Worthless. Like you don't deserve anything that's been given to you."

"...You don't know anything about me. Just go away."

"I know you deserve a second chance."

"And how exactly do you know that?! You don't know me or what I've been through!"

"You can tell me."

"I don't even know your name."

"So?"

"So I don't want to talk about it! I... I just want to get out of here."

"No one deserves to suffer."

"..."

"And everyone deserves love."

"Go away..."

"You're beautiful you know."

"W-what?"

"Has no one ever told you that?"

"No..."

"Well someone should have. They'd have to be blind not to see it."

"..."

"Everyone deserves a second chance."

"...Even me?"

"Of course."

"But you don't even know my story..."

"I don't need to."

"I could have done something terrible."

"Do you regret it?"

"Yes..."

"Have you made amends?"

"Yes."

"Then I forgive you."

"But..."

"Now you have to forgive yourself."

"Thank you..."

"Goodbye."

"Hey...Wait..."

"Yes?"

"You said you've seen 'that look' before... but...where?"

"In the mirror."

#75. Mirror (I just realized two seconds ago that this qualifies... :XD:)

Update: OMG!! :squee: I can't believe how popular this has became!! And so quickly too! Thank all of you so much for all the faves, watches and kind words! I love you guys!! :glomp:


This just kind of came to me when I was listening to "Angel" By Sarah McLachlan... Well the first part did anyway... The second part took plenty of brainstorming and deep thought.

I Just wanted to get this universal message across:

EVERYONE deserves a second chance.
EVERYONE deserves love.

If you don't think so, I beg to differ.
If you don't think anyone loves you, I do, and so do so many others that you may not even know.

So please have hope.
