...sleep star boy...sleep.

Just finished reading Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli, a simple yet poignant book about being who you are, fitting in, the sacrifice/compromise in between and loving...I must admit that it was quite a read, with the refreshing story about a boy loving a girl who was a different crowd all by herself.

Most of the time, I feel like Stargirl Carraway, different and annoyingly amusing with her out of this world antics and freakishly beautiful habits. And at one time in my life, I remember loving a boy who didn't think I was worth everything in his world, and so I was treated as an invisible entity and he moved on and left. Sad as it may seem, that is very much a part of my not-so-distant past yet, like Stargirl's story, it left a stab in my mind and heart. Like Leo (Stargirl Carraway's love interest), sometimes I wonder what if I did the things in the right manner and never undervalued people who loved me, would things have turned out much better than it is now?

After two ex-boyfriends and being in a long-distance relationship, I still ponder on how things would've been if all was really fair in love...as they say.
