I love you.

I applied for the last "Writers of the Future" one. Nope! Didn't get any money. It was sad.

They all sound cool. My mom will love this. She's been a bit worried about college funds ever since I didn't turn out to be the athletic type.

I got really close for one of the Writers of the Future scholarship. They published me in their little book, but didn't give me any money.

I'll have to apply to "Writer's of the Future". I wonder if they'll let me enter multiple times as I get older, and when I go to college, I get all the money I accumulated. I'll check it out.

So stadig loop ons deur die pers Jakarandas wat val,die bome word kaal Pa staar na die beeld van Botha wat reis op sy perd,Hy wonder was bloed soveel werd.Soveel jare dra hy aan die naam van 'n plek,Soveel jare moet ons nou laat gaan,Is die naam dan so erg,so bitter en sleg?Hoekom gooi jul dit weg?

I came into this world wrinkled and ugly. And no matter how much I accumulate here, it's a short journey. I will go out of this world wrinkled and ugly. So I enjoy life.

I want to try that Writers of the future.
Some say the written word is dead, and only spoken can it be made alive. But, when you read, is the story dead? Are the characters just ink? No, it is something more. The written word is what worlds are made of. If you don't believe me, read a book.

I go to seek a Great Perhaps...
