Mine might have done the same. I have my best friend’s journaling from her wild days (she passed about 14 years ago) and I honestly don’t know what to do with those! They came to live here after she got married.

Honestly, life experience is just that. So in honor of that, here. You can read if you like. Ive had people tell me they are worth the read. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/my-house-of-pain-published-chapters

Read at your own risk.

I think I just finished what would be considered Chapter 1. This non-fiction is better than any fiction I've ever read.

If you ever had permission, id be willing to bet that binding that into a book for others to read would be amazing.

I would not be able to get my best friend’s permission. But I’m sure there are a few vignettes that she would have approved - such as climbing out a second floor window to escape an amorous and persistent suitor. Or mine, a roommate telling someone I’d died.

Publish them. No one believes the lives we led in the Sixties and Seventies. They should know what life can be like before we grew up.

If I didn’t believe that statement , I wouldn’t be publishing my own writing
