The Secret Journal of Brett Colten

This was an amazing book! I really love it! I read another book by the same author (Kay Lynn Mangum) called when the both breaks and I feel in love with that one too. But I think I like this one more! It's about a girl named Kathy who was born 16 years after her brothers and sisters were born and her brother Brett died of leukemia when she was two years old. She gets really annoyed with her family because they never stop talking about him and she doesn't even remember him. Then she gets a journal that he left for her before he died. She finds out how much he truly loved her. And while she's reading it she feels that she gets really close to him though she can't remember him. She also find out about his endeavors in investigating the Mormon Church which makes Kathy interested in the church as well. It's a very inspiring and touching book and I enjoyed it thoroughly!

Me

Okay, I'm going to be honest.
I don't know much about writing and my worst subject in school is English.
But, I did take this class for a purpose. Not just for a grade but for better creative mind.
I may not have the best poems in the class and to be honest a lot of my posts really suck.
But I don't think I care what you think about my blog.
At least not as much as I used to.
I think I owe a lot of that to our teacher because he's stressed just being who you are.
And I did that.
I gave you the best representation I could of my heart and I learned a lot.
I learned that I love to write!
I may not be good at it but nevertheless, I love it.
I have learned that poetry means everything to me.
I find so much beauty in words and I found myself appreciating lyrics, poetry, talks, books, any spoken language, a lot more than I ever have.
I have learned to stimulate the right side of my brain.
And that means the world to me.
So while you may not care , I care and that's all that matters.
Thank you for all those who have posted positive, encouraging, and critical words of praise onto my blog posts.
I have treasured your words and you have truly encouraged me to keep writing.

I guess there's no more stalling now.

I guess all that's left to do is tell you who I am.

I guess I am a little scared.

I guess I do care about what you may think about me.

Oh well, here it goes.

My name is Kylie Young.
