Wow! This is like two pieces in one! I enjoyed the review, and it was spot-on. The story was understated, which in turn said a lot. And that letter in the end was so cute, especially because it's true more times than not.

Hey, thanks :) I am glad and relieved that you enjoyed this take. I had my doubts about reviewing (that may end up being boring for the reader) and the letter was something I was working on while my partner wrote his piece. (It basically stemmed from the discussion about how his story should end)

Thanks a ton for reading and sharing your thoughts <3

You gave us a twofer! I love that! You did a great job with the review of DW's part of the intersection!

And as for the letter- this paragraph- I love this!
Of course, I get poked by misery now and then, losing my confidence in this vast sea of self-doubt. But when I hang-out with creativity and my muse, life seems all rosy and fine. Till the bills gets linked in to my account. I can’t tell you how much I miss thee.

Hugs and peace~~~D

What a great idea for an intersection - a review of the other entry! It was clever and fun, and I really enjoyed it.

I like this idea for the intersection!

As a Hebrew speaker my only crit would be that the word for money is Kesef. Mezuman is the word for cash. I'm not sure which word you're looking for but mazuma is not a word in Hebrew.

Thank you :) That's a great help. I got the word from synonyms for money, I'll definitely change it once the polls get over. Is there a word for 'passion' in Hebrew?

Happy to see you here <3

Passion is T'shukah.

I'm curious with reading your partner's story, why are you using Hebrew?

Cool. Thanks :)

Ohh..there is no connection there. I started with the letter before reading my partners entry as he was still working on it. We had a discussion about "A kid following her passion" and I thought doing a think-post about passion v/s money would be a nice idea. Though while writing this letter is the direction my mind took. Also, I didn't want to start it as 'Dear Money ' and end with 'yours Passion' ; so while looking for synonyms I found these words and liked them :)

Thanks again!
