Why

"back to life" We dont want you. These words became Jasmine's nemesis. What did she say or do wrong? Why couldnt she be like the others? The distriction wrought by these words followed throughout her school years. Everywhere she went, she felt left out. Everything she did was not good enough. Then, in college, her nemesis hit hit her with triple force that proclaimed a loud and clear message. She did not meet standard requirements for public relations. Bad. Dismissed. The culmination of all these hurts cut into the very soul of her; they pulled her over the edge of that void and into the dark emptiness of no rhyme, no reason, no purpose... into the abyss of suicide. But when Jasmine came face to face with death, she also came face tp face with her existace. Those beautiful fires of that life force within guided her along a different journey, a journey back to life. The blankets that had covered her truths began to lift, her voice no longer remained suppressed and she felt more empowered each time awe, rightness or a song the heart was reclaimed.
