I Saw My Whole Life As If I'd Already Lived It

Rose felt a surge of despair as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. She was wearing a lavish dress and a dazzling necklace, but they felt like chains that bound her to a fate she dreaded. A glimpse of her future, it was bleak and empty. She saw herself married to a man she despised, living a life of superficiality and boredom. Rose saw herself surrounded by people who only cared about money and status, who never listened to her dreams or passions. Rose saw herself losing her spirit and her will, becoming a hollow shell of who she once was. Rose felt like standing on the edge of a cliff, with no one to save her or love her. This circumstance is like dying without ever living.

That girl wanted to scream, to cry, to run away. But she knew she had no choice. She had to play the role that was expected of her, to please her family and society. Rose had to pretend that everything was fine, that she was grateful and content. She had to lie to herself and everyone else. Feel like she had already lived her life, and it was a nightmare.
