"Move On"

That first step, that day
onto the smooth stoned beach
with my two friends
was a sheer stop of joy.

As I slipped my shoes off
- to able myself to feel the smooth stones
of the beach ith my feet,
only I knew exactly why I my heart was filled with
happyness and content.

I then sat down in a triangle with them,
we giggled and laughed while I shared my feelings,
they knew also, exactly how I felt,
I had unlocked a whole new world.

After a short time,
I wish I had never been happy that day,
I wish I could go back.
But, life is too short to have regrets,
cos at the time, it was worth it.

By Drew

Please be nice about it, it is my first attempt!

It seems like in the early 80s', times drastically changed from the 70s like the style, music, and movies a lot differently than expected. Sorry if you don't understand my question but I guess what I'm trying to ask is, how and when did the 70s evolved into the 80s? Another question too, what decade did you like better?

I recently got a guitar but I don't practice often cause of the huge hassle it is to find good lessons or sites. I also don't know where I can get good books or do I know a lot of people who would have any idea. I heard that I should try to learn playing guitar by myself then get a teacher, thats a challenge in and of itself. I already know that its gonna take a while to learn. What should I learn first to get the wheel turning?

Where do *you* draw the line between positive self-esteem and arrogance?

I'm writing a story for fun and i'm just wondering if its interesting so far. (be honest)

"...which is due the 23rd. Now before the bell rings I would just like to finish up the.." *RING* *RING*
The bell rang violently as the students franticly stuffed books and papers into there backpacks. It was friday at last and nobody had any intention of opening there backpacks again until sunday night. The hallways were suddenly flooded with people pushing and shoving there way to the front doors. Jack sat qietly at his desk waiting patiently for the halls to become deserted once again. He softly tapped his fingers on the desk as he watched Mr. Sanders gather up his papers.
"Ready for the weekend Jack?" asked Mr. Sanders suddenly as he placed his papers neatly in his breifcase.
"Huh? Oh... yeah." Answered Jack.
"Any big plans?"
"Yeah you know me," Jack stood up and pushed in his chair. "I'm full of big plans."
Jack hoisted his backpack onto his shoulders and made his way to the door.

Recently, I was showing some of my writing to teachers, proofreaders, and just basically putting it online (bad idea, I know, but no one was really helping me...) A general response that I got was that my main character was the epitome of teenage angst. That I knew. But I wanted readers to be able to relate to her. Because doesn't everyone go through that teenage angst thing at some time in their lives? But is 'relatable' essentially the same thing as 'cliched'? Is there a difference? If so, what is it? Please help!



Oh, and I saw that whathaveyoudone654 is having the same problem as me, it seems! So help us both please!

life can make you choke
going on fast as smoke
not letting many moments last
moving on just so fast
moving from one to another
kinda makes you wonder
is there one true
that can really love you
wanting to know the best
in this big world of a mess
knowing not of tomorrow
or what it may bring
not a clue or anything
trying not to fall apart
but stay pieced together
just to love every other

Hello to everyone i'm 24 years old and in love with dance, i have no formal dance training but considering some dance classes next year at a conservatory here in florida (i say next year because classes have already started) I really want to try ballet not to become a professional i realize i'm a little too old for that but i guess anything is possible. I know they offer adult classes but i wonder if the instructors think as adults we're foolish for trying to take up such a diffucult dance form so late in ballet years, do they even take adults seriously. This question is for anyone who knows what i'm talking about. Thanks you for your time
