99 Achievements You May Have Overlooked (Not To Be Read All At Once)

Going into space!  

Our achievements seem to pale into insignificance compared.  

Compared?   

Bad word.  

Every achievement stands alone.  

We can all list our achievements and believe they 'don't count,' if we compare them with being a successful astronaut.  

The point is, there is no comparison. It's impossible to compare.  

I asked my readers a question about achievements and one of them commented that  

she had no achievements to be proud of,  

and that made me sad.  

As a result, I decided to compile this list of

what do you make of this?

two girls, one older, the other a year younger, set eyes upon one another for the very first time. The younger girl asks the older girl what her name is, as they wait by the queue on the first day of lessons at college. the older girl answers, and inside the younger girl feels even more mushier than before as those bright blue eyes project toward her making her feel loved. then the girls get to know each other a little more, but sadly as the days grew long they could never find it in themselves to reveal to each other those feelings of butterflies dancing inside their bellies.....the older girl later says to the younger girl if we could go back to the first day (introductory lesson) i would have drawn you! do you think this is lust or love?

I think it is love and they are were just afraid and regreted to each other. AND hmmmmm my guess is tht this is a story bout u. am i correct?
