Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved beauty. She loved beauty in words, beauty in the natural world, and most of all, beauty in people. She was always looking for the most beautiful things. With her camera in hand, she struggled her way through life. See, while this girl thought everything she saw was wonderful and gorgeous, she could never look at herself that way. She saw beauty in everyone and everything but herself. She wasn't shallow as one might expect, but rather a silent bystander to the darker parts of the mind. Her love of beauty meant that she saw the good in the world, but never in her own mind. She was slowly consumed by the darkness that comes with being alone. Until Ana. Ana was everything she thought she wasn't. Ana was beautiful and smart and witty and the one everyone always loved. Ana was the one the girl could turn to. The one she could depend on to alway be there. And the one she would do anything to be.
And suddenly, she wasn't alone anymore.
