SANITY IS
-
It should have been a life of a dream, when Evelyn was born into the Darling family. New money, hard to earn the same respect. Her parents were happy and tried for over 3 years to get a baby. Evelyn was the miracle in a wish that seemed impossible to ever make a reality. Her father heiring their new lifestyle, it was never really theirs. But it was always Evelyns, she never knew anything else. Living in a huge mansion that her fathers brother had owned just a couple months back. A tragic death that meant a new status for the Darling parents. Evelyn really had it all; a private driver driving her to the most expensive school, taking her home again to her loving family. How could she have a single complaint? She was a happy child. Little did she know that happiness does not last forever.
She was just 16 years old; her father passing away in a plane crash. Everything stopped at the Darling mansion. Everybody stopped breathing, all the clocks stopped the time when the news hit the family. The absence of her father didn’t just cause lots of grief and sad months, but it also left her and her mother in a lot of debt. After the loss of her husband, her mother changed - and not in a good way. Growing dominant, desperate and sometimes even a little cruel. She sometimes took it out on Evelyn and for the first time in her life, Evelyn felt wrong in the eyes of her mother. The mother that had always loved her, the mother that fought years for having her. The debt took over, having to sell their belongings to live and Evelyn was taken out of school and removed to a cheaper one. It was shameful. Especially for her mother. Evelyn herself, tried to drown herself in school and even made some friends in her new school.
While she struggled with teenage drama and moving on from the death of her father, her mother became crazier. Wanting more than anything to stay in the upper class and the wealthy socialite they had been given to before Evelyn was born. Their belongings to sell got less and for months they lived without barely any furniture. All they had was the house - oh, and Evelyn. Her own mother planning to marry her daughter away, to a wealthy and rich man of course. Someone to secure their fortune, someone to make sure they stay important. Causing Evelyns young age, eventually they moved out, sold the house on auction and moved to a smaller apartment in Brooklyn. A downgrade, Evelyn didn’t mind, her mother did. Taking care of her mothers behavior, sometimes having to apologize on her behalf.
Engaged by the age of 24, he’s rich of course. A man her mother found and made a contract with, this will be the future for her. A man she does not love, and will never love her back. A miserable life; a depressed mother, she even started growing the symptoms herself. Moving in with her fiancée, securing her mothers status and wealth, hoping one day she will return to her good old self.
Feeling trapped, without a way out. The pressure on her has given her mental scars, that she rarely talks about. Actually, that’s the thing about Evelyn. The woman who always has time to listen to other people's problems, always knows what to say and gives the best advice. In reality, she can’t take care of herself and her own problems. Fixing others makes her think that will fix herself - it won’t. Honestly, there’s many good things to say about Evelyn, other than that. She’s responsable, honorable, brave and a good friend to have in your collection. No matter how bad she feels, she will never stop putting other people first. That’s what a strong independent woman does.
