100 Words: Distraction
A million thoughts race. A hundred-thousand feelings surge. A thousand regrets weigh heavily. A hundred tears fall mercilessly. All because of you.
I’m careless.
I’m fearful.
I’m clumsy.
I’m numb.
I cannot understand why you fluster me so!
Why won’t my mind put you to rest? Why can’t I just let go? Why do I torture myself so? Why is this so hard?
These thoughts, my feelings, rugged regrets, bitter tears; they are going to be irrelevant one day, I’m sure. However, now they bountiful and it’s a p p a r e n t that I need a new distraction in my [teenage] life.

You are an amazing, wonderful writer. WOW.
Sometimes I save the best for last, but then I’m late commenting, and then I feel bad on Twitter, so I have to come and have dessert here first instead of for dessert which is usually last, and… ;)
And this was fabulous, as always. I loved the whole bit with the a p p a r e n t. Very creative, Mishi.
absolutely brilliant, as usual.
I haven’t written mine yet, thinking this weekend, remember watch for the 100 Words on Mama Bear Writes now.
HA! Wow, I remember those days. God, everything was so FULSOME during adolescence. So urgent, so extreme.
Silly hormones, love is for grownups.
I’m going to be posting these on Sunday from now on.
ah… to be young and idealistic again! I hate worrying about if holding the line for 10 minutes with the cable company is worth the $3.99 credit I’m requesting.
Written so well, I dare anyone to say they can’t identify with this.
