It had certainly been an interesting last few years for Calypso. The imp had fallen in love with someone that she would do anything for then one day… The other no longer felt feelings for her or something and she left. Calypso was heartbroken. She’d grown up thus far pretty happy but having her heartbroken changed that a bit. She felt like her life was spiralling out of control. She didn’t feel close to her siblings anymore or her parents… she felt alone for the first time in her life. What happened? Calypso sat in her bed, her knees curled to her chest as she cried. She couldn’t even remember what happiness felt like anymore. She’d gone into a deep depression and felt like she was drowning from it. Her grades were slipping, friendships were dissolving and her passions were slipping away. She hadn’t written poetry in months and certainly hadn’t even bothered creating lyrics. Even with all the pain, she wasn’t inspired.

Calypso hugged her knees tighter, thinking of what the future would hold for her. Even with the pain, she tried her best to stay optimistic. Things would get better. They always did, right? She’d be back to herself as soon as she was ready to move on and accept that not everything is sunshine and rainbows. Her innocence had died but it was okay, no one stays innocent forever, right?

The imp pulled her blankets over her, thinking of what to do once she graduated. She could just not go to college and get a full time job instead but she felt like she could do way better for herself. What if she went to college and let everyone down? Would they forgive her? She shook the thoughts away, wiping her tears away and laying down. She curled into a ball, deciding to rethink her future when she had better sleep.
