Maybe you actually do need to face obstacles with someone to know that they're the one you'd sacrifice for.

Although my other ambition was to be a musical theater star (and I would attend college on a voice scholarship), writing was never far from my mind.

It would be so great to have someone my own age to talk to, even if it was just about books.

I was a lawyer for about ten years. The law teaches one to see things from all different angles.
