Bird Song
A journey of understanding how to love, how to be loved and hardest of all, how to accept that someone loves you. Sometimes your biggest enemy is your own self doubt, I wrote this to cope and to understand. The story follows Alara as she finishes her last year at school and emerges into her 20's. It follows her struggle as she tries to determine her feelings for Jules. There's an almost magnetic quality to Jules, she is effortlessly likeable, she doesn't demand approval, but somehow she gets it. Jules couldn't be more different from Alara and Alara knows it. (p.s. I originally wrote this as a film script which may be why the flow is a bit off. Open to comments and suggestions!)Complete
