Mine too!!!

Every teenager is melodramatic. We have all been there and some of us even have them ourselves.

Okay I didn't know this was here before I made my comment on the actual title.

This reminds me of the first book series I read. Cirque Du Freak by Darren Shane (The Vampire Assistant books). There were 13 books in the series, and I just couldn't put them down. Then twilight like everyone else and the harry potter books, The wheel of time series was amazing as well. I get so lost in them. Some I can't read at night because I won't sleep.

I like how Pasqualin describes things people can relate to. I did this almost every day in elementary, jr high and the two years of high school that I could stand to suffer though.

Why did hitchhikers guide to the galaxy flash immediately in my head. I think I need some sleep.

Sometimes we overthink things or get in our heads. Even being overly confident can cause chaos where chaos doesn't need to be. Taking a step back and just saying whatever let's wing this thing works out better.

When taking my GED test 2 years ago, I remember telling my husband how good of a writer I was. "I got this!! i took a creative writing class in high school". Yeah nope failed it and math. Science and history passed no problems. Go figure!!!

This made me remember how quickly things change. I was going to do Administration for a career and quickly realized that Social work was where I really wanted to be.

This made me think a little more about how we underestimate people. If you have knowledge then you have power. You do not have to fight to be strong and powerful.

I agree with this. If someone is reading outload and they are monotoned, they have a blank face and no pep to keep attention, nope sleep time! You have to keep someone's attention. If you want to know if you are a good storyteller, volunteer to do a story reading day at a Pree school or the library but ask for kids under the age of 6. That is the real test. My daughter can keep kids' attention all day. I can for a little bit. My husband stands no chance! so yes being entertaining while you're telling a story is a MUST!!!

A story can have several different reasons on why it was made. Some help people learn things from educational and some as cultural knowledge. Some stories can tell someone's personal history like a memoir. I used to tell stories to help my kids understand things (made up stories), potty training, friends, school time things like this. My grandfather would tell me stories about the factories. I would tell stories to friends about where i have been growing up. I've learned a lot of fun facts- Like taking a quarter to help push a thumb tack into a wall. that came from a contractor who walked into my CPR class as I was struggling with a thumb tack. My go to hack. There are so many reason for stories.

This in itself clicked. As we read in our heads or randomly find ourselves talking to ourselves. Have you ever caught yourself narrating things around you just because you are bored? NO?!? Just me?
