Do you think life is boring without struggles?
Who among of you is dreaming of an endless happiness?
Do you think money makes you happy?
Dear readers, I don't know how to introduce myself in a way that I might get your attention, but who am I to please everyone anyway. My name is Missy Liu, nineteen years old, and living on the outskirts of a great town. My mother died when I was seventeen, and that was two years ago.
That time, we went on the famous beach of our town. It was her birthday. I was too hard-headed back then and still went into the deep part of the beach. A big wave came to my direction and it pulled me away from the shore. My mother rushed towards me, and I can't clearly see because I was drowning. When I woke up from the hospital bed, my father scolded me and blamed me for the death of my mother.
I'm sorry, I am too emotional about this. I can't help to hold back my tears. To continue my story, since the day Mom died, Dad became different to me. He's always drunk and pissed off easily whenever he sees me. I am the only child of the family, no other relatives, no friends.
My Dad used to lock me inside our big house. I was not allowed to go anywhere, not even in school. I was not also allowed to use the internet, not even watch television. I only found out yesterday that my Dad made me dead in the awareness of everyone.
Yes, our family is one of the most influential in the state when it comes to fashion, armed forces, and business. My Mom is known for her marvelous designs for men and women's wears. My Dad is a retired general of the armed forces in our state. Before his retirement last year, he already established his own business for the uniforms of the armed forces. Sleeping bags and other personal protective equipments are included.
I escaped from the house yesterday. I am currently staying in my cousin's small apartment. He was the one who told me that I am dead in the news for two years already, next to my mother. I also have a grave beside my mother's. I don't know why my beloved father did that to me, it's excruciating.
Now that I chose to leave the place, I hope that I can live peacefully and start my life. I declare at this moment that I am no longer the fragile Missy Liu they used to know. I will start my life since today. I end this diary today with a wide smile.
Sincerely yours,
Missy Liu || 03/10/22
