Favorite Movie

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. Which is also my favorite book because it was the first book that pulled me out of my world and into one that I loved because I understood it and it understood me (most important). I'd sit in my half-bathroom sized walk-in closet with blankets piled onto the floor and listen to Sublime while drinking Diet Pepsi...or read S.E. Hinton and drink Diet Pepsi. I read all of her works in that closet. Diet Pepsi. We had months worth stocked up because of shutting down the family restaurant. Finances tight. So was everything in family life. I needed my own space. It's funny how such a compact space supplied me with more freedom than I'd ever felt. It was warm in my space...and the yellow bulb made everything glow. The warmth was welcoming to my cold blood. My moms bloods always been warm. As a child I never wanted to let go of her because of her warmth...and love. Because isn't that what love really feels like? Warmth. A different temperature for everyone, but nonetheless perfect in every way. It's the temp you can play hard in, nap in, work hard in. Love is what drives us to do those same things.
Pony Boy was GOLD and Cherry Valence was bold. I wanted to be both.
