People say that when life is giving you troubles, you must look at the bright side of things.

People say that if you have negative emotions about yourself, you must try to look for the good, positive things about you.

But how can people say such things? Do they not understand that the reason we have been hating ourselves for so long is because we can't find the positives about ourselves? Do they not know that we are so preoccupied by our troubled lives, we do not have the luxury of self-satisfaction or false-hope? Why is it that they speak such blasphemy?

That, she would never know. She had come to realize with time that in order to live and be strong, you must learn to pick yourself up. As the world is against her for something that was never in her power to control, as the world hunts her down, she will learn to stand on her own two feet. Of course, she is not alone. With time, you learn to break free from chains, either alone or with the people whom you trust. She was able to have someone by her side. Someone to show her the ways of being free and happy. He was her first friend in a long time, and she will never let go of that feeling. He brought light into her life, like a flame lighting a path in the darkness. He is her eternal flame, burning as bright and fiery as the sun. She will never let it go, not ever.

Now, she stands tall with her nakama beside her, together facing the corrupt world of hatred and fear. As the princess of this country, even if she is beaten to the ground, even if she is thrown away like garbage by the very people she swore to protect, she will not give up, not ever. Because this was her home, and she will do everything in her power to change it for the better. She will take back what rightfully belonged to her. The throne.
