    “I’ve worked all my life as an office clerk. But when I was young I dreamed of being an important writer. I won some prizes in my town. But mainly I used writing as a weapon, because I was completely in love with a girl who liked reading. At the time she was dating..."pic.twitter.com/UyuAvPQRkR

        I hope you continued writing. It’s a great release and a creative outlet. It’s never too late .... I’m 61 and writing my first book. Even if it’s never published it gives me joy just to write.

        Maybe the idea was, she might realize she was in love with the simple shoulder once he died?

        Does this mean I have to look up the addresses of my scorned would-be high school sweethearts? Or can I just rage write about millennial things

        You're a brilliant writer. That last sentence proves it. Life's like that, we can't always get what we want but the memories are everything...
