I'm not trying to be a famous book writer or anything. But isn't writing about expressing feelings and getting out of your shel ?! At least that's what i was hoping !
I'm a normal teenager, my life sucks, my childhood sucked and i'm pretty sure that my future is on the same path !
I've always thought that life gets easier as we get older, is it really !? When you're younger, you're told stuff like " you're too young to understand, or, you'll understand when you get older " but sometimes i feel like i got things better when i was 8
Teenage years are the hardest, psychologists can tell you the same things, nobody understands, parents are trying to ruin our lifes. W feel like time is passing by so fast ! And we haven't done anything " important " yet ! We need adventure, like the ones we see in movies. experiencing LOVE, DANGER, LIFE... if those three weren't the same thing !
We feel old, we love drama, we fall in love with the idea of love, and when we finally find it, we get scared and we run ! WHY !?
For some of us, life wasn't that easy, and i guess i should explain it better.
Let's get serious and let me tell you the real reason i like to write,
IT HELPS !!!!
i have always been a bookworm, i have used books as an escape of the bittersweet reality to live in someone else's for a while ! But i think it's about time for me to face my own reality, i have to tell you MY STORY...
Geoff and Naomi are dead, and they're depressed, but when Geoff's cat Bernie dies as well, they embark on a wild journey to find it in the underworld.
*****

With the hunt for Bernie giving new purpose to Geoff's un-life, he and Naomi begin a quest to get back their cat. Battling skeleton pirates, climbing the sky ladder and facing off against the villain who took Bernie, Geoff is determined to find his purpose - or die a second time trying!
