"Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic."
Life is hard, beautiful, sad, happy, frustrating, and every phase is filled with brilliant contradictions. But life is even more bewildering for teenagers, especially those who strive for authenticity and wonder why they don't fit in with their peers, parents, or any adults. All anyone can do is blindly choose a path, stumble often, and keep seeking new experiences that are true to our authentic selves.
