It’s funny because I born when my dad was 25‚ and ever since I can remember him‚ he’s had grey hair. I wish it was only the grey hair. There is also the migraines‚ the sweet tooth and the hardheadedness! One gene my dad failed to pass to me was his math skills. I struggled in math class for as long as I can remember.

I’ve only done one exceptional thing in my entire life. It was two months ago but I feel like an eternity passed since that day. I always thought about myself as a person who’s impossible to get provoked.

No‚ I do not carry it for fear of coming across Prince Charming and diving into his arms for the fairy-tale kiss. But I do fear chapped lips; it is more of a phobia (chapped-obia?). I was eight years old in the Alps of France over winter break when no one informed me that chapstick would be a good little soldier in my pocket to defend my lips from the enemy: the cold
