where my girls at?

ok, i'm not really sure how to go about this but...

i've really been burdened (and i don't use that word a lot) lately about doing something about this problem i've been thinking about and i need your help----

cheryl posted something on her blog awhile ago-i'm not even sure now when or what was said exactly- but it was something about how adolescent girls need role models. and while i tend to dismiss/roll my eyes about role models in general, the truth is, there is a need. and i've gotten to thinking lately about my own adolescence and how i thought i was the only one with the problems i had. and that nobody else i knew at the time could begin to understand. so that's the problem.

now what to do about it... for some strange reason the other night i started writing. and now i have three pages (just so far) of basically the story of growing up jamie. and as i was writing- without even knowing why- i thought that nobody would want to read just the story of jamie, by jamie, cuz that would be boring. BUT if it was a collection of straight-up-ness type stories of US- young women who've grown up in different circumstances but still dealing with issues like our bodies, boys, insecurities- by US, then maybe it'd be more readable. not that i have any idea who'd be doing the reading.

so basically, i want to know if anybody has any ideas of how/who/what or anything to contribute. i don't know why i feel this urgent need to do something or who it'd be for- ya'll know me as a very un-motivated person to begin with so...who knows where this is going, if anywhere....

i know that you (specifically melissa, cheryl, naomi and amanda- basically the majority of my blog readers) are exceptional writers and i think that you'd all be able to say something beautiful and worthwhile. and if there's anyone else out there with something to say, i'd love to hear it. so yeah, i'd love to hear feedback sometime.
