Girls are like apples on trees

Girls are like apples on trees.  The best ones are at the topi of the tree.  The boys don’t want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt.  Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren’t as good, but easy.  So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they’re amazing.  They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who’s brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Janet’s Note:  I don’t entirely agree with everything portrayed in this quote (the “rotten apples” phrase gives me pause), but it’s got some interesting ideas and is, I think, beautifully presented.

We can choose how we dance

We can’t always choose the music life plays for us, but we can choose how we dance to it!
