Breaking Barriers

Have you ever asked yourself this question? This simple, four-word question. The famous,

"What do I want?"

If you have, then you understand me.

You've been in my shoes, you've lived what I'm living, and you've felt my sense of exasperation, frustration and confusion all at once. Just because of such a tiny, yet meaningful sentence. The one that ceaselessly tugs on the strings of your heart. The one that consistently remains roaming around your brain, for what seems to feel like an eternity. It's the question that drives you to the edge of insanity. It's the question that our parents ask most of us when we finally reach the last year of our high school careers. Senior year. It's the question we always ask ourselves when we read the McDonald menu. A we ponder on what to pick, what we are hungry for.

It's also the question we do to ourselves when we are in a complicated relationship.

"What do I want?"

Cali girl, Vanessa "Nessa" Williams is having a difficult time, when it comes to making up her mind on what she truly wants in love department. She has always been the type of girl to have it all. The fashionable clothes, social status, power, beauty, intelligence, and along with it, the inevitable sense of making bad decisions when it comes to love. That's why she has always stayed inside her comfort zone. The one concerning, dating idiotic, egoistical, tall, athletic, blonde jocks.

But what happens when she receives a sudden visit from a childhood friend. And not just any childhood friend, but "The childhood friend." A boy who challenges her to step out of the little bubble that surrounds her. A boy who makes her toes curl as pleasurable chills run down her spine. The only boy that makes her act and feel like an idiot all time around. The boy who makes her flush pink, by the way he flatters her. The boy who makes her want to break down her barriers, the barriers that surround her heart.
