Do you remember having “the talk” with your parents? I sure do. And I only remember it because it wasn’t so much a talk and more like a “Here, read this,” my mom said as she flung a book about puberty at me. The book, by the way, was The Care of Keeping of You: The Body Book for Younger Girls from the American Girl company. http://thexosocial.com/2018/09/24/my-bloody-journey-to-understanding-the-hype-around-the-divacup/

“Hello, my name is Yi-Yi Huang and I am 6 years old. Today I am going to tell you a story about my sister’s 18th birthday.” That’s the opening line of my first diary entry. It’s no “Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again,” but I’ll take it. Hey, I was six at the time. Give me a break! I had no idea at the time, but that first diary entry wouldn’t be a one-off thing. My journaling adventure began at that point and I plan on doing it for the rest of my life. http://www.thexosocial.com/why-i-keep-a-journal-and-you-should-too/
