I am bored.

I miss my friends and I miss having a plan.

Plain Talk

A free letter every Thursday: one thing a teenager said this week, what it meant and what I would try.

Plain Talk, every Thursday

Chapter 1 · 3:30 pm

Nothing.

I need some time before I can talk about it.

Try I am here when you want to tell me. Do you want a snack?

Chapter 2 · 10 pm

Never mind.

I wanted to tell you something and the moment passed.

Try Okay. I will be in the kitchen if you remember.
