What I Learned - Halo by Alexandra Adornetto
I picked up this book not really sure what to expect and absolutely loved it! The theme is a much written one, but this is brilliantly executed - even more so when you consider that Alexandra Adornetto was just 18 when this book was published! Amazing, and, hands up, I am a little bit in awe of such a young talent! What I learned: ...this is really true, but we need to try every to do the best to express how we feel, particularly about the people we hold close, using the words available to us. Don't ever fail to try! I hadn't thought about this before until I read this passage, and I completely agree...it is utterly ridiculous that we use the same word to describe so many things in our life meaning it looses it's importance...wow! I hadn't thought about this before either. It's amazing that such a young author has such an insight! Ironic and true! this is well worth thinking about...why are you standing on the sideline...
