I like the soft grass metaphore. Keep it up.

As in part one, the descriptions are vivid and you build suspense well.

There are people who find it hard to open up, that rings true. So does the difference of opinion and change of mind regarding the movie.

There was a lump in my throat as I read the ending.

I hope things work out for you BAMBI. Treatments for cancer have advanced over the last few decades and more people come through it than before. I hope it won't go that far but if it does remember that.

We are surrounded by images of people who are physically perfect. It puts a lot of pressure on us to measure up. Try to remember celebrities have a lot of help from make up artists and even personal trainers. Teenagers in films are often portrayed by twenty somethings. Photos can even be airbrushed. Most of us are not so lucky. Just because you don't look like your favourite singer or actor, it doesn't make you a failure.

Most people are a mix of faults and virtues. Most people have been right about some things and wrong about others. Unfortunately we are taught that everyone is pure good or pure evil, and that's got worse over the last few years. If taken too far, it leads to people being expected to be better than anyone on this planet ever has been or ever could be. You may not be right all the time, but you could still be right about things that matter.

You have a vivid imagination to think of this concept.
