Thanks for your comment....Praveen<BR/>Hello and welcome. Thanks for your comment.<BR/><BR/>Kat<BR/>I started diaries properly at about 11 and only stopped once when I had a stern boyfriend who disapproved and thought them silly. After a while he just decided I was too silly and then once he was gone I got back to the diaries soon enough. An interlude of foolishness all round. I have a short poem about that time too ('Girls learn this only once'). It can apply to any kind of romantic relationship (not just girls/boys) but that is the one that inspired it hence its slant.<BR/>xRachel Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803852725693518924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-87946390914732898222009-02-08T15:20:00.000+00:002009-02-08T15:20:00.000+00:00Which is exactly why I'm very hesitant to put an m...Which is exactly why I'm very hesitant to put an ms. together.<BR/>I love the Diaries poem.
