What the girl didn't know

What the girl didn't know

A Story by journeyous
"

It all happened fairly quickly.

"
There was a girl who had everything, and she couldn't figure out what was wrong. She thought and thought, and one day it occurred to her that the world was broken and it was up to her to help fix it.

But nobody told her that she was broken, and the people were broken, and how hard it was to care, and how much there was to care for. So over time she became ragged and worn and weary.

When she reached the pearly gates, the good Lord shone down on her and smiled. The girl had many questions, and they kept being answered. She fell on her knees and wept, because it was too much, and not enough. And she realized that this was the nature of life.
