My two favorite lines are: "Instead I counted dead flies trapped in the webs laced between the exposed beams." and "I hid my fractures from him."<br /><br />Keep writing, you are an inspiration to those of us who remain blocked.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05844024946266365767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4811391518852162335.post-23190513552778082692012-05-24T11:31:01.428-07:002012-05-24T11:31:01.428-07:00I certainly understand the inability to communicat...I certainly understand the inability to communicate and the "foreign language" everyone else seemed to be speaking. I too put myself into countless situations that left me in danger, rather than to stick with the one who had promised to keep me safe. Why?

When Suzanne writes "written the words not only from your life but from theirs," I think I understand. There's something here about how we all disappoint ourselves. But, Felicity, the thing I want to say to you is that no one makes no mistakes. Especially teenagers.Yvonne Daleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030948013324710062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4811391518852162335.post-91124552483835667102012-05-22T11:03:05.942-07:002012-05-22T11:03:05.942-07:00Love, Love, Love this!
