“They do make love stories for girls with black hearts after all. They go like this.”

I want you to know: There is a fairy tale still left in all of us. Believe that good things can still happen in spite of… everything.

Sometimes we just need to see a happy ending. Even if it isn’t our own.

For anyone out there who needs a shoulder.
And an indisputable fact:
you matter.
