I was trying to be charming.
There was a group of teenagers gathered around talking about something I can’t quite remember now. What I do remember was that I was fourteen, and that I was nervous. And then one of the coolest guys I knew turned towards me and flashed a smile that made me even more uncomfortable. And so I did the inevitable, ridiculous thing that insecure teenage girls are supposed to do in situations like those: I turned to walk coolly away from the conversation… and I ran into a wall.
Yes.
In front of the coolest guy I knew… I ran into a wall.
What made it worse was that he immediately rushed over, eyes wide: “Are you okay?”
I wasn’t okay. I felt the beginnings of a splitting headache. But it was nothing compared to the humiliation that I knew would linger long after I left the company of my peers. I ran into a wall!
I have found a new daily-reading blog. It’s called Joyfully At Home. The lady is awesome…and she’s Voddie Baucham’s daughter. That was a snippet from the post I read today on her blog. You guys should definitely go check it out and add her to your blog list.
The quidnuncs that love me most.
Because the ones that love me most obviously comment the most.
