Promise

Misunderstood

Sometimes in life, not all things have happy endings, but that's just the reality.

Monsters hide behind human skin, waiting for the perfect moment to pounce, but here's one thing.

Sometimes, not all of these monsters are bad. After all, in life, it's easier to be feared than loved, more easy to destroy than to create.

Monsters are just scarred human beings that are shackled to the ground with chains made of shattered hope and broken dreams, unable to spread their torn wings and soar up into the skies. They are deprived of even the illusion of making their own choices, imprisoned inside their own minds.

They aren't free

But who said we ever were?

Most of us think we have the freedom to do whatever we want, but in all honesty... we don't.

But that's not what matters, what matters is that you have people standing by your side, people who are willing to water the flower of hope in your heart every time it is about to dim, about to wither and die.

But for those whose flower had already wilted without anyone knowing... you may be sad, confused and angry. You don't tell anybody about the wilted flower or tears you shed.

And soon, those emotions will lead you to think that you are spreading toxic to the people around you, that you have nothing to lose and at that point of time, it will cause you to do some things that you will regret, that will make you think you don't care anymore. And by that point in time... people will think you're ruthless. Leading you yourself to be affected by their thoughts.

But not everybody is as bad, as ruthless as they think they are, all they need is someone to bring out the goodness in them, all they need is someone to plant another seed of hope inside their hearts.

It's not as easy as it sounds though, sometimes it takes a hundred lifetimes to find that one person to help you. But who said that destiny was the one that should be in control of this? Charge out there like the raging storm you are and use your heart of fire to warm the souls of people around you, and just like that, you'll find that one person someday.

Don't ever think that you don't deserve happiness, don't think that you are worthless.

Everybody in this world is unique in their own special way, each and every one of us deserves to be happy.

Monsters aren't bad, just a living, breathing story, one waiting for you to read and understand, and in a way, they are unique too. They aren't bad, just... hauntingly beautiful.

Sometimes, good people make bad choices. Does it mean they're bad? Does it mean they deserve to be mocked and taunted?

No, it doesn't.

In the end, we're only human, we cry, we laugh, we smile, we make mistakes.

Remember that the most beautiful people are often the ones that are broken beyond repair.

They are beautiful for holding up so long even when the world let them down, even if their lives are filled with pain and misery. They're still alive, and that's what counts. They didn't give up.

It's not wrong to be ruthless, there just has to be an extent to it. After all everybody in this world just wants to survive, wants to live.

Not everybody in this world is bad, some of us are just sculpted, moulded into what we are, who we are today. Some of us were forced into the role, we didn't have the power to make the choice of what and who to become.

Remember it's not your fault.

If you think you are bad, you really aren't.

You're just misunderstood.

This is an additional chapter that I'd written specially to dedicate to my SS group. (Those Who are in that group knows what SS mean), Thanks to you guys, I actually had quite a nice time writing this chapter.

Thanks for making the group work so much more easier with jokes, dances, songs and funny comments.

Thank you, Hong who helped us all relax throughout the project, Dheekshanya who created this joking and nice atmosphere, and Aiden Who maintained the seriousness needed for the project to be finished even though you cracked some jokes a few times.

Thank you
