I'm back ... yes ... after a couple of weeks of silence i am back and ready to post ... and there is no better way than to start off with a centus.
This week, dear tricky, dastardly Ms Jenny has challenged us to use 16 words ... it must be autobiographical and it must be about ourself at the age of 16. Here goes nothing ...
At 16
I lost you
and I lost me
The road back,
hard
and lonely
Writing that was surprisingly difficult ... and in my mind "at 17" by Janis Ian is playing in the background ... well, off to grab a fresh cup of coffee, and read about others at 16 ... come join us!

I wanted to join at 14...LOL Had to be patient until my 17th Birthday and on that very day I went in. :)
Sad post with pathos in a few words...hope it long in the past.
Such a hard age for some and so carefree for others. Nicely put.
But there is a road, and a way back, perfect 16.
I'm really wanting to know the whole story. Very, very nice, Jo.

You said a lot here in just a few words. Well done.
=)
So much pain conveyed in these words....well put, sometimes it feels like the end of the world....but you found the way back and that's what counts.

"At Seventeen" is the second song on my playlist! This post was a very brave one, Jo. xoxo
Great to see you back Jo.

I remember 16. It was a rough time... Then I grew up!

A world of emotion in 16 words!

Oh gosh. Oh my. Oh teary eyes.
What a poignant and powerful little gem.
This hit me right between the eyes.
I know I've said this before but, girl, you can really write!
Hope your holidays continue to be bright and merry!
