		<description>I liked this because as much rationalizing as the main character did, I came away from it feeling like she&#039;d lost something, like what she rationalized away really was important despite all the reasons it shouldn&#039;t be.  

It&#039;s sad that this happens all the time, that the reasoning of the world reasons away our emotions.  Personally, I believe every single emotion is important and deserves at least recognition.  But that&#039;s just me :)

In sum, I very much enjoyed your story.</description>

		<description>I really enjoyed reading this. I remember feeling the same way about so many boys and I think you captured the hardening of a young woman&#039;s heart perfectly.  I think it is an unfortunate truth that women endure this, but here it is, wrapped perfectly in a bath towel.</description>

		<description>I really did enjoy reading this.

It is so true that many times I have become so worked up over little things that, when framed in the scheme of bigger picture, don&#039;t really seem to matter. Social events, distractions and other niggles sent to disappoint us should not get in the way of that &#039;thing&#039; that means more than anything in the world. 

I wish I had understood this sooner in my life.

Excellent stuff Kristine Guadagno.</description>
