I shrugged. I didn’t really know what I was going to do, but for the first time, I wasn’t worried about it. I’d figure it out as I went.
Life is funny like that. You might think you’ve got everything all mapped out, but a single minute, a single decision, can change everything. But that’s the magic. It’s your reality. Yours. Interpreting what it means is up to you.
I thought about my question game. Where did I see myself now? Riley Ozaki: mixed-up teen or misguided optimist?
Both, I think. A little of both. And that’s the way it should be.
About the Author
Tiffany Brooks lives in San Francisco with her family and a bunch of rescued pets, who luckily don’t object to being featured on her Instagram because her kids refuse. The best thing about living on the west coast is she can find out what happens on Game of Thrones three hours ahead of air time. That, plus not having winter weather, means she’ll never move back east, although that doesn’t stop her New England family from asking when she’ll be moving “back home” to NYC or Connecticut. Reality Gold, her debut novel, kicks off the Shifting Reality Collection, a YA trilogy.
