Jam & Jelly

“But none of that mattered because these first times felt like forever, and we were comfortable and we were content.”

Formally known as “Stupid and Naïve, Jam and Jelly” is written from three perspectives; two major characters and another, written for transition and a better standpoint on the conflict, one minor.

The story tells of two young ladies who had fallen for each other, their only problem was the ten thousand miles between them and the two year long wait they had to overcome. But to them, it wasn’t about the distance or the time; it was about each other: A girl from Australia and the other the United States, both stupid and naïve enough to think that they actually had a shot.

But it’s these things that we do for the first time that make us feel alive, and if you can find someone who makes every time feel like the first then what more could you ask for? One’s knowledge should not be based on what everyone else has done, but what few have accomplished. Just as one’s experience should not count for what they’ve failed to do, but what they’re willing to do. Willing, what were they willing to do?
