The Hug Heard ‘Round The World
by marinashifrin
In the final installment of The Dear Diaries I graduate and “hug a lot of people and guys”. I also work up the courage to hug my long-time crush. Thank you to all of those who read these silly things. I hope you found them as funny as I did. 
Dear Marina,
Congrats, Grad! SPOILER ALERT: Two years later you and Kevin become each other’s first kiss. Ten years later you write a story about him. Four months later the New York Times publishes your story. A year later you fall in love with Kevin’s best friend. It’s a little weird, but you’ve always liked a little weird.
Love,
Marina

I like how this story (and blog series) came full circle. Very creative 🙂
Don’t knock it, now as an adult an incredible speller is one of the things I look for in a woman. I’m not saying it’s top of the list, but it certainly weeds out a lot on dating websites. The New York Times thing seems an impressive achievement though.
Very nice, I enjoyed reading all of your diary entries and your replies to Tween Marina. How many years before you write about Kevin’s best friend?
