16 was supposed to bring freedom and perfection. From there it was supposed to be smooth sailing. Who would've thought that every dream that she'd imagined would come crashing down. The friends that were supposed to remain close withdrew, more enemies were made, and a future that once seemed so certain now seemed shaky. Once again... living in the shadow of what's expected of them. Or rather, being held back because of the shadow they were forced to live in.
Things weren't supposed to happen this way. By now, she'd always imagined that she would be married and have a baby on the way or one already in her arms. She'd imagined that her and Niels would have tons of support from friends and family. That everyone close at heart would be there. Yet now, she wondered... Would they have any support? Or just negativity? For a moment, a dark thought shrouded her mind: perhaps it was a sign that life just wasn't worth living. However, one look at the love of her life, and she knew that life was worth living. Sure, there was still no ring on her finger, but if it were to happen in this moment... it would feel forced anyway. At this point... she just had to be patient and let things be. If there was one thing that she wanted to remain perfect, it was her engagement. If that meant waiting, then so be it.
