In Greek mythology, the Sirens (Greek singular: Σειρήν Seirēn; Greek plural: Σειρῆνες Seirēnes) were beautiful yet dangerous creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island (Wikipedia).
I used to be a normal seventeen-year-old girl. Very much average. I wasn’t tall or skinny enough to be a model, and I wasn’t short enough that all the cute guys were taller than me. I had light brown hair which fell a little over my shoulders, and I needed to wear glasses which added at least a shade of brown to my otherwise pale face. I was happy with my existence as a wallflower because I had few but good friends and a loving family. Then, without warning, I lost everything. I boarded a roller coaster of emotions, reaching every possible extreme of sadness, madness, and happiness because this Wikipedia article suddenly became a bit too real. Who would have thought that being one of the most beautiful mythical creatures would be such hard work?
