she stood in front of the mirror, awe-inspired with pain-- and she smiled, that sad smile of hers. Sorrow seized every part of her body yet her eyes still glowed with courage and hope. She appreciated "life" for everything that it was. She has learned to appreciate disappointments, lost joys and even misery. Sorrow has become her friend, her refuge and source of comfort. Happiness can not console her for she has learned that it is something to fear.
