THE SACRED OVERVIEW

The oracle of love recognizes what you're carrying into this question, and it is more tender than it might look on the surface. You're starting 9th grade, which means you're starting almost everything at once, and somewhere in the middle of new hallways and new schedules, there is this quiet wish: to be seen by someone who is exactly right for you, and to have them choose you back. That wish is real, and it deserves a real answer.
