The "normal" was long gone. I felt a sense of madness coming up inside of me. But not in a bad way. It was more a touch of I-realise-a-lot-that-I-should-have-realised-earlier.

Maybe there was a time when everything was different. And there was a time when I saw things differently. But not today, not now. Not anymore. It was one of these things, where life simply happens to you and changes, not only the way you look at things, but it also changes what you believe in.

Maybe it destroys your completely normal, daily life. And this was one of the cases where I knew it would never be like it was before.

A sudden change, that changes everything.

[Allison, a 19 year old girl, has recently been through a breakup. Her best friend and her boyfriend cheated on her.]

[She had an accident. A vampire attacked her. When she bites him in the attack she has his blood in his system. Which helps her later on surviving a car accident, that would normally cost her life. Surviving comes with a prize, which is, in this case, her life.

She survives through becoming one of the undead vampires.

Life as she used to know it does no longer exist and she needs to adjust to the new life as a vampire.]

Yes. You are right. I am a killer. And I, like my victims, deserve to die... at least in my opinion.But my view isn't objective and neither is yours or anyone else's. It's a view, and there are different views, thousands, sometimes. However, there are times when only one point of view is relevant.

We all have an addiction. For some, it's coffee and for others, it's alcohol. Some can handle their addiction, some don't even know their addiction and others are surrounded by their addictions on a daily basis, which makes it hard to resist. Imagine it being like sugar. If you were addicted to sugar, could you stop? Sugar is almost in every product you consume. And now imagine that you can smell that sugar wherever you go. It would drive you crazy, wouldn't it? And now imagine the sugar saying stupid things that don't even make sense, and all you can think is "shut up."At least that's what I think about right now.

The guy standing in front of me had no idea what he was talking about. And when I look around, I see that everyone else knows. But he is the boss's son and, apparently, that gives him the right to waste our time. Well, maybe after tonight, he will think twice about the time he is wasting. If he had the ability to waste anyone's time after tonight...Or if he could think. I wish I could kill him right now. My hands began to shake, and it took all of my energy and focus not to kill him right now. Not to cut his throat.

When I looked away, I saw her. She was beautiful, but that wasn't why I admired her. You can see the brilliance in her eyes. And all my senses were calmed when I smelled her perfume in the air. For a moment, I forgot my wish to kill the people in this room and I focused only on her. Nobody had ever done anything like what she had done for me. It was simple, but beautiful. A small gesture that meant everything to me.

For a moment, I wish we could be two people who are driving around at midnight, going out for a snack or driving into the woods on the weekends. But that will never happen. She would never want to be with me.

When you think of a vampire, you might think about "The Vampire Diaries" or maybe a bit more old-fashioned "Dracula", the origin of the vampire stories.

Whoever created the myth of vampires took too many drugs, maybe even been an alcoholic. Or maybe they wanted to create an extra-ordinary explanation for something ordinary that happened in their life, but that they wouldn't understand.

But who judges what is ordinary and what isn't? A trip to the moon is ordinary, animals that can breathe underwater are ordinary. People going to work for five days a week until they might die is ordinary.

We live in a world of cause and effect. But maybe that's just something we believe in to keep us "sane", maybe we see something as a cause, that isn't a cause. It just happened to be there, but it has nothing to do with the effect.

And maybe there is a logical reason for vampires who don't feel welcome in the sunlight. Or for them, lunging for blood instead of an animal's flesh, like we humans do. I mean, is that so hard to believe?

Who of you experienced something that wasn't built on a cause and seemed to be a miracle?

Maybe the vampires are a bloodline, and maybe one of them is the future King of England. Bram Stoker's story "Dracula" (1897) had an inspiration. And that inspiration was the 15th-century Romanian prince, Vlad the Impaler, who is, according to the Prince of Wales, an ancestor of him.

Maybe Vlad the Impaler was one of the first vampires. Maybe Vampires aren't what we imagine them to be, like super-fast and that they can't see themselves in the mirror. But maybe they exist. A hundred years ago, we didn't believe in the technology we have today. So maybe the world isn't ready for it yet, but who knows if there might be vampires who don't like sunlight and have other powers we couldn't even imagine. And I mean we all know that the government hides a lot of things, so what is one more secret, anyway?

@danceinsilence thanks for the great idea to write about a Conspiracy Theory. This is my article caused by that idea.

She was a wonderful person. We are all here today to give her the respect she deserves. And as long as we have our memories of her, she will never be gone. She is always going to be in our hearts.

I hope she found the peace she sought.

We have an impact on people's lives all the time, sometimes without even realizing it. With every smile we give or with every hello, we can change a life. And I like to think about the impact she had. And so, she will never be forgotten, and even though she saw herself as replaceable and irrelevant, I know that she wasn't. We all know that she at some point helped us to become who we are today. And that alone makes her irreplacable, not to speak of all the lives we don't even know that she had an impact on.

Depression is viewed as an attention-seeking behavior. Suicide is a tragedy. We need to wake up! We need to change ourselves. We need to start listening. We need to start getting help. With whatever it is that kills you inside. Ask for help. Be there for each other. Don't let people think that you don't value them until it's too late.

Suicide is sudden. But not for a person who is already suicidal. Suicidal people may have these thoughts for years and keep them to themselves before committing suicide.

But for everyone else, it's the first moment they start to realize it. Pay attention to the people around you. Don't give them the feeling they need to be ashamed or feel like a burden when they don't answer "I'm fine" to the question about how they are.

Learn from this lesson and break the stigma.

May she rest in peace.
