Excerpts from my Junior High-Freshman in High School Journal
Because sometimes, you just need to look back at yourself and laugh at how overly-dramatic you *hem* were...
"I tend to view crushes as an emotional disease."
"Everyone is so practical..."
"[Life] is like a huge cloth, with many colors, fabrics, and patterns. Here a little red for passion, bold stripes for confidence, light blue for timidity, black for despair or hatred, white for exhilarating heights of joy and love ... "
"I wonder if they ever feel what wonder and joy comes to me by looking at God's beautiful creation ... Do they know the indescribable loneliness that comes of not knowing if anybody feels it too? I wonder if anyone else has to write it down."
"Alas, I must come back to the present. Though I am first to admit it is not half as pleasant, it is certainly quite interesting."
"I will keep liking him (or the imaginary perfect him, anyway) until an equally amazing boy presents himself or I get a molecule of sense into my overly dramatic head. Being neither of those are likely to happen any time soon, I am resigned to my fate."
"[The world] will always be too large for the scientist, and too small for the explorer."
"No, I am too old and too young too believe in fairies."
"Think for yourself; evaluate all counsel, including your own."
"God, thank you for giving me a heart to dream and stars to dream under!"
