Even I, Laura, am not really happy with where my life is. JIM: Yes, that is just it! People are not as great as you make them seem once you get to know them. LAURA: It just takes time when you get to know people. Everything I did not have! Be social! Be social? Be social.) (It must be so easy for him to say! He had everything. And you must be such a great person to come to know. Be social! It will get you so far, Laura. It is hardly anything at all! You should not let something like that stop you from making friends. JIM: No Laura! You should not be so self-conscious. (Ruined me, that brace!) I suppose maybe I never had much luck making friends either. I am sure it was a disruption, that stupid brace. LAURA: Well I made such a spectacle of myself wherever I went. JIM: You always seemed like such a quiet girl back then as well, Laura? How do I feel now, even? Is it possible? Should I say something or just let it be?) Such a wonderful smile! If only he knew how I felt then. (Well I am so happy he remembers me! And he has that smile on his face. JIM: That’s it! Wow, Laura, it has been quite some time! I had no idea you were Tom’s sister! We spoke in high school right? Weren’t we in a class together? What was it? I almost did so tonight, but I had to stop myself. JIM: Yes! That is you! I used to call you something different though. JIM: Sing?! How did you know I sing? Wait! Were you. Most probably he would only remember me clunking around making a scene everywhere I went!) Too bad I got his attention in the wrong manner. He sure has not changed so much since high school. Keen interests in learning and bettering himself. ![]() Laura, Tom said you were shy, but I did not expect this shy! Say something! Centered in Chicago! What an excellent story in the Century of Progress exhibit. ![]() JIM: You know about the Wrigely Gum Company right? Those fellas made off quite well. (It cannot be much harm can it? To be closer to him? Even if I tease myself now, entertaining thoughts that he has interest in me? Why not enjoy it while it lasts?) He smiles coolly at her as they talk and Laura inches closer. Laura swiftly sits on the floor next to Jim. (Sitting on the floor beneath me? What is this man thinking? I have adored him for so long and now he sits below me in my own home?) I think I’ll sit on the floor if that is fine. JIM: I’ll put these candles down now, and take a seat myself. (I wish someone would be here to show concern all the time. I can hardly stand seeing this man so casually walking over my heart.) She will be carrying those jonquils all her life, wishing I were finally able to carry my own. She will be relentless, but this is not going to work. (What can he possibly be thinking now? I must look so helpless. JIM: How do you feel now? Better that you have had some rest and a chance to sit? (Why does he act so familiar? How is it that he can address me so simply, as if he does not remember me from our high school days?) He brought with him candles to provide some light in the dim family room and approached Laura slowly. She is always saying, “Please love me”.īut you are taking giant strides with each attempt.Jim moved closer with an intimidating, confident stroll. Laura is a fragile little bird who just wants so badly to be loved by someone.accepted for who she is. There will be no empty space.Īnd there is just a bit more vulnerability you could find, both in the deep desire to please your mother and the deep feelings and joy you get in talking about Jim. Those thoughts keep your pauses full of transitioning. You need to let whatever triggers the new tactic, create the thought that makes you say something. ![]() Because the thought must come before the written word. And it triggers the thought, “This girl doesn’t deserve Jim. Maybe you see her picture in the yearbook too. And when you say you don’t care for his girlfriend, you need to feel the jealousy first. Because you need to think it before you say it. Like before you point out Jim’s smile you need to think, “I love that smile so much.he is so adorable”, before you show your mother his photo. I’d just like you to actually fill your mind with thoughts a little more when you are making those changes. ![]() You are taking the time to let things happen.
