I was looking for an idea to do some more writing so I went on Pinterest for ideas. I came to one and I did it as challenge for myself, to improve my writing. So I put my music playlist in shuffle mode and the first 3 songs is what I used to make this short story.
Musical Story Prompt:
Once upon a time, there was a young girl who always alone. She is the type who keep it all to herself, she struggles to heal while she is dealing with the negativity from everybody including the world. No one knows how much she struggled to keep her tears from coming out of her eyes. Evry step and breath is agony and she cannot bear it anymore. Everyday feel like forever and it's not getting better. Her chest hurts as it feels so heavy. Day after day, always feel so cold even when there was a sun. IT's doesn't get any better unless she goes to sleep and all of her worries disappears.
She always dream that someone will come by and make her feel like she is special to him. Someone who deserves her, someone who will love her like she deserves to be loved. Is it wrong to be loved? Is it all right to be selfish and have a person loves you like you are the last person in the world? Does she deserve to be loved? Will anyone loves her? She envy people who always look happy and they got nothing bad happening to them. Such a peaceful life that people have. But what she doesn't know is that everyone struggles with something. Everyone have their own demons that they are fighting with. They have their own battles. They all struggles putting on a smile everyday and it's seem that they are doing aright from the outside. They all assume the best out of everyone, everyone have their goods and bads.
She is someone who hides her true self as she frightened that someone who she cares about would leave her as she shows her true self. Her heart is like a glass and it's can be dropped and scattered as when someone hurts her. She got a heart of glass. So fragile and precious. Her family told her that her life isn't that bad and she should be grateful. But what they don't know is the pain always remain forever inside of her. They mean the best but they should've listened to her. She doesn't showed her emotions or feeling as it's burn her inside. She look fine at the outside but she is bleeding inside, drowning in this huge world that overwhelmed her. Always on the verge of tears, doesn't know when to hold it or let it go. All she want is to fly away to nowhere and be free like a bird. To disappear until she feel better and feels no pain. It's doesn't mean she want to be gone, just be gone until she feels better and she can come back as a better person. To be with someone she cares for eternally. For everlasting love, she will embraces that someone as she give her everything to him. She will give up everything to be with him. Even if it's hurts her to give up something of hers. He would be that person who she always cares about. He would say that she is beautiful no matter what. Who said that she should stand tall and wear a crown like a pineapple.
Her name is Milena, meaning love, grace, and warmth.

Love Grows
Dear Diary, My name is Elizabeth Parker. I was born in 1860. I am in my early twenties. I am firm about what I believe. I’m very emotional. Always believe in right and wrong as well in justice. I don’t believe marriage without love. I wouldn’t marry anyone for money like my brother Edward. I’m intelligent and always reading and spend most of the days revive about romantic novels. I lived in a small cottage with my parents. My father is Joseph Parker. He is so kind and wise. He has so many good qualities such as compassion, patience, and love. He is my favorite person. My mother is Catherine Quimby Parker. She can be dramatic sometime but is very understanding and supportive. It’s just three of us since Edward got married to Lady Catherine Quigley of Damerly. Her father is Lord Matthew Quigley of Damerly. Catherine got her inheritance from her father when he passed few years ago. She gets 10,000 pounds a year. Edward inherits 5,000 pounds a year from the war. He married her for her inheritance and her beauty. People said she is beautiful, and her face is breathtaking. I don’t truly believe that. She is beautiful but she judges lower class people. She married my brother because he has a good reputation from the war. He was a hero to many people. There was a 10-year difference between them, Catherine is the same age as me. They lived in a house in Damerly where Lady Catherine inherits from her father. They always go to Bath at least twice a year for a month or so. They love to socialize such as going to the opera or a musical play. They love to mingle and waiting until someone important invites them. They seem to love the lifestyle. I don’t see them very often.

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
