    There’s something. I know there’s something. This can’t be it. It can’t be it. I have dreams, you know. I wanted things from life. This is the dream? The great life I was promised, where the hell is it? I promise, I swear, I’ve looked. Where did you find yours? I can’t keep looking forever. I’m too tired, I just can’t do it. I wanted to be an astronaut. I thought the planet was pretty. I don’t even believe that anymore. They all die, astronauts. Maybe that’s why I wanted to be one. I’ve cried so many times, you need to believe me. I never stop crying. I cried in my bed last night. I cried this...qJUone door

    Peppermint Patty

    "I've got a plan."Peppermint Patty isn't the cutest girl in fourth grade. Not even close. She is, however, a force to be reckoned with. A "rough and tumble" kind of gal.

Writing, then, f...qJUone door

    Perseverance is Key

    She picks herself up off the floor where she has once again fallen flat on her face; she dusts herself off, attempts to stand tall in the face of adversity. She asks why she keeps putting herself through this when she appears destined to fail. This will be her thirteenth attempt for this day alone, unlucky for some. These legs take some getting used to. They are not her own, alien to her, they will not move the way she wants them to. Wwww.onedoor.ccilling them does not seem to work, concentrating hard just makes her more and more exhausted. Fed up, trying to manage simply a couple of steps, something we all...qJUone door
