Colours of Life

A short story about a girl who is heart broken. She is determined to forget the past and start afresh.

Jane woke up as the rays of sunlight hit her. Her cheeks were still wet and her eyes were swollen red because of all the crying. She remembered how Mark had left her at the altar and had run away from the wedding. It had been so embarrassing and heart breaking. She literally had lost the will to live. Jane had thought Mark was the one but it had turned out she was wrong. She got up from the bed still in her wedding dress and looked at the painting hung on the wall. It said "It's a brand new morning! The day is a blank canvas yet to be painted with the colours of life." Jane felt a surge of motivation. Yes it was a new day. She would write her own destiny. Sometimes you fall but that doesn't mean it's the end. It is an indication to get up again and begin from the start. She changed into her day outfit and looked herself in the mirror with a determined face. She would write herself a new story, a new future.
