story #2

once upon another time, there was a girl. she was moving out of the house for the first time ever. she was excited, scared, and looking forward to the life she was about to lead. she settled in, and was sad, but noticed how new and wonderful her situation was. so she worked, not as hard as she should have, but she worked. time passed, and she was not happy with the work she was doing. it wasn't enough. meanwhile, she met a boy. this boy was handsome, adorable, kind, and genuine. she found herself thinking about this boy at times when she was alone. the boy did many kind things for the girl, and she thought of kind things she could do for him. so, she plotted, and she wrote. she wrote a lot of nice, pretty, sweet things to say thank you. finally, she finished with her writings, and gave the boy her writings. he was thrilled and filled with joy at the nice things the girl wrote. they began to notice that they were falling....and as time passed, their relationship grew and grew and grew and now their lives are intertwined, one without the other would be lonely indeed. they laugh, they hug, they are close and wouldn't have it any other way. and so far, they live happily ever after.

i like this one better.

a story

soylaluz49: "once upon a time, there was a girl. she knew what she wanted, and she was very sure of herself alone."
soylaluz49: "one day, a boy that she had known all her life noticed this, and wanted to know why she was so self-assured."
soylaluz49: "he talks to the girl and realizes she's kinda cool, and even a bit pretty. the girl realized he was in need of someone to listen. so they talk and talk and talk and there seems to be a spark, a hint of something there."
soylaluz49: "one day, the girl goes away for a time. the boy begins to think that she does not like him because she doesn't contact him every day, and she doesn't worry about him like he worries about her."
soylaluz49: "the girl returns, but finds the boy sad and weak and hurt and lonely. the girl tries to explain, but her efforts are futile. "
soylaluz49: "the relationship wanes to a drop of nothingness, and she leaves again, for an even longer time."
soylaluz49: "she tried to open herself up to him again, but he uses it against her, and creates a huge wound, one that leaves a scar that she cannot forget."
soylaluz49: "she does not ever want to see the boy again."
soylaluz49: "but she knows that someday she will have to see him again....it is a small world."
soylaluz49: "she prepares herself to see him, and finally she does. the boy is courteous and she realizes that even if he is young and has much to learn, someday he will make someone very happy."
soylaluz49: "she is content just being friends, and suddenly, so is he."
soylaluz49: the end

sometimes even the most painful circumstances can give one inspiration....

finding jhung

please go here. i found it quite wonderful. something that is more than just for the moment....

for the moment.

hi. haven't seen you in awhile. but it seems you're ok with that. and suddenly, so am i. but i know you're doing fine, know you're embracing life, or did i hear you wrong? you're becoming numb, becoming a ghost of the old you. you're changing your colors, but i know you. and that isn't changing anything. i want to help, i want to hold. could you let down your hair for a little while?

doing well. exams are next week. it's scary, but the sooner i face it and it's over, the sooner i can go home and be with the ones i love most. i look forward to tomorrow.

i can only hope you'll listen. will i get a response of frustration or joy, i'm not sure, but i long for something more than it has been. i have let you down, it doesn't get any worse, but i long to make it better again. at least i want to make it better for as long as it will be better, for happiness doesn't last forever. can't you see what you're doing to yourself? a thousand things i wish i knew, i wish i never knew. get better, my fragile little butterfly.
