The "Real" you
I got this from a book I have to read for one of my classes and it is called Strenghts Quest.
The old skin horse tells the Velveteen Rabbit what it takes to become Real:
...."When someone loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real......It doesn't happen all at once...You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.
This makes me think but I like it. ALOT!!!!! Yay, i'm getting something out of college....go me!
