what a sweet and vivid glimpse into a memory so many of us hold dear. i turned ten in 2004 and had my first real sleepover sometime around then, so this piece spoke right to my preteen soul. thanks for sharing <3

Really enjoyed this! Omg yes those horror movies. 😨 Never my thing! It was at a sleepover that I decided never to go with the flow again - I haven't watched a horror film in 20 years 😂
