Girls like guys to be a challenge. It gives them some mold to fit in how they act. Like a mom. What would a mom do if she couldn't fuss over you and make you clean your room? And what would you do without her fussing and making you do it? Everyone needs a mom. And a mom knowns this. And it gives her a sense of purpose. You get it?

So what's the point of using words nobody else knows or can say comfortably? I just don't understand that.

I guess I'm pretty emotional.

When I did a study of all the coming-of-age movies that meant a lot to me, whether it was 'The Graduate' or 'Rebel Without a Cause' or 'Dead Poet's Society,' they all had that timeless feel. None of them were completely married to the details of their age. They felt timeless in their treatment of it. That's what made them resonate with me.

We didn't talk about anything heavy or light. We were just there together. And that was enough

Sometimes people use thought to not participate in life.

So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them.
