Wren's Epiphany || April Challenge || FSIII

I love these challenges. This one was tough. I spent hours finding a story (a book, a movie, a generational tale), but came across one that puts a real twist in the prompt. There is only one story that I hold onto with sadness, but joy... My story... (put in horizontal)
I wanted to introduce my characters, each representing a piece of who I am. The Clarinet focuses on me as a whole, while the english horn shows who I am emotionally. I was born with a heart, soul, dreams, and hope. These were more people to me than actual people. Movement 1 shows how childhood wants to last but fades as the horrors reveal itself. My story starts rough, being evicted from my home, no electricity, no money... eating hot dogs for a year straight (literally). Constantly torn from apartment-to-apartment. I lost the feeling of being human. No friends, no love, nothing but the stones in the back yard (any of the yards) to keep me happy. But what is happiness without friends or love? Doubt and negativity were my enemies, crushing me with all of their strength and will. I wanted to give up.. until I got my second chance. We moved from Florida to get better education. I began to heal. Movement 3 captures this as I meet my first friend in my freshman year. She was smart, strong, and taught me how to be human again. My senior year (this year), I met Ireland, she pushed me to continue Caroline's path and taught me how to be a PERSON. But.. the one thing I needed most was love. I was given and taught how to love by someone very special to me (Zeph) and to this day, continue to love me for who I am, not caring about the things I can't be ^W^
So... my story... a young kid learns that the world is a dangerous place, but finds a way to survive by spreading love and kindness, learning how to be a human and a person. My story is sad.. it hurts to remember it.. but it's the story that drives me to this day to become something greater, no matter what other's throw at me. I. AM. WREN. <3
