Any experience that isn't fun is probably something I will at least use in my writing someday.
I wrote poetry, journals, and, especially, plays for the neighborhood kids to perform. I had an ordinary, happy childhood. Nothing much was going on, but I had fun.
A boy admiring a pretty girl. A rare thing to be certain. But love-true love-is something else.
It would be so great to have someone my own age to talk to, even if it was just about books.
That's what true love should be like-the person should be part of your soul and you should know what they're feeling all the time.
