Rewriting Destiny Shelly Morgan

When life gives you lemons, it's time for shots of tequila. That's my new saying in life, and trust me, life has handed me lots of lemons. My name is Danielle DeChenne, and for eighteen years I took every punch "destiny" threw at me. Now I'm no longer a naive girl. Traumatic abuse will do that to you. I was forced to grow up too fast, and the one person I depended on-that gorgeous Marine, Zane-turned his back on me. So now I say screw the lemonade and just give me a bottle of Jack Daniel's, because I don't believe in destiny anymore. There is no pre-destined path set out for each of us. That crap doesn't exist. Sometimes bad things happen...it's just how the world works. It sucks, but you have to pick yourself up and get on with your life. Even if it's an impossible task. I'm done sitting around and waiting for my life to change or something good to fall in my lap. It took me awhile to understand, but once I stopped being the doormat for destiny, it was time for me to take control. Now I decide where I go in life and what will happen. It won't always be pretty, it will sometimes hurt like hell, but I will make sure I live my life to the fullest... Then the gorgeous Marine from my past returned with a vengeance-except this time, I was ready for him. It's time to rewrite destiny.
