Have you ever wondered if the people around you are aware? Of their thoughts? Their surroundings? Of the things they do?
I have. I always do even if I'm not so aware myself...
The World We Live In is a story about a teenage girl living in New York City who meets a guy and falls in something that resembles love. It is also a story about a girl who struggles to find her way and be happy in a world that's stopping her from becoming anything other than whats shes trying so hard to escape.
The main villain?
Herself and her naivety.
Throughout the story she learns that the true colors of the world are worse than she thought they were, and that all she used to believe, stemming from her want of a simple explanation of life that only looked at the black and white, was utterly wrong.
Like everyone's life, hers is also filled with streaks of happiness.
A memoir of someone who lives in our heads and, someone that lives in all of us...

I'm In Love With Me?
Why was there a boy in my room? There was a boy in my room! "Shoo, shoo." I whacked him with the umbrella as he backed up next to the window. All I did was make a wish. Just a few words I called a sentence and a few sentences I called a paragraph. How was I supposed to know that it would turn out like this. What even was this? I was him. He was me. We were...we? "How can I be you!" I shouted in panic. This wasn't making sense. He? Me? We're...us? "Because I'm you." He answered calmly and my mouth dropped open. Wait, what? "How can you be me and I, you?" I bellowed, confused. This was way too much for the little brain cells I had left. "You're a boy!" "Okay, now that's just being sexist." He stated, leaning against my book case with a grin on his face. What the hell was going on!? ************************** Lenna Adams was living no easy life. Her once perfect family was now in ruins. She loved her dad, but now she felt nothing but hatred and disappointment towards him. She adored her mom, but now all she felt was pity towards her. She once appreciated her life too, but let's face it...everything was a mess in Lenna's life. He claimed he could help her. He claimed that he could make her enjoy life again. And the only way to do it, was to become her.Complete
