Distorted Chords of the Now

So guys, do you remember Sonnet? I wrote about her some time ago, in Oh Sweet Sonnet.

Yea.. about her, I guess I'm no longer in her friend circle. Although, she will always be in mine. It's an odd declaration but I meant it. I don't know how to approach her before nor do I know it now. It was always her approaching me and I appreciated it. Maybe it's the jerk in me saying, but truly, I don't know how to start or maintain a conversation.

“When he asked my grandmother if she would mind being poor, she said she would be happy just to have her daughter and himself: 'If you have love, even plain water is sweet.” —Jung Chang

I read Wild Swans back in Standard 5. I was 11 years old. I read it discreetly because the book was in the adult collection, meaning it wasn't by recommendation that I found it, nor did anyone expect that I would have been interested in reading it.

I was though.

The Ego of a Passionate Reader

Reading isn’t studying. They’re just for fun.

(The Daughter of Twenty Faces)

Back when I was a brat, I used to convince myself that I read because I love studying (or maybe just trying to convince myself that I'm smart, and all smart people read).
My surroundings helped that falsehood too.
