  1. I was given a silly word to write about when really all I wanted was some inspiration for my novel which was already about 4,000 words behind. I didn’t really know what to do, but all I could think was to open write or die in a window and write as fast and hard as possible.

  4. why? given is such an interesting word. it can mean something beautiful and something to cherish but this single word can mean something completely different to someone. maybe you do not want to be given something, maybe you think you don’t deserve it. maybe you know you deserve it but still don’t want to be given this because it will be a constant reminder that you will never be able to give anything back. thats the beauty of giving. sometimes you know in your sub conscience that you needed that reminder, a reminder that a friend loved you so much she was willing to give you something that you need desperately despite the irrational and inconvenient circumstances that might fall upon them because of willingness and their unconditional and irrevocably love for you. that is something that you can sometimes never be able to return…

  6. i’ve given all i can, and yet, you still haven’t returned the gesture.
    aren’t relationships supposed to be a two way street? really?
    that’s funny, because you’re so good at taking and taking until i have nothing, yet you never GIVE.

    i’m not giving you another chance.

  7. a given circumstance is something that you can’t control.
    most of the time.
    you react.
    you feel.
    you respond.

    i want to be more in control of my reactions.
    i want to be a human.
    but i want to be my own god.
    my own animal.
    my own everything.

  26. Giving something to someone else makes that thing something that has been given although they may not have wanted you to give them anything they cannot make that givven thing ungiven, so giving someone somethingcan be a way of imposing your will upon them. Now would anyone suspect you of trying to control them by giving them a gift? – of course they would, we all do it all the time and know exactly what we are doing. Even so, most gifts are well received and we thank the giver – which actually perpetuates the whole process and so the giving goes on….

  27. I have been given four perfect gifts – so they must be from God! Each is a special blessing and fills my life with a richness that can not be described with only words.

    It was horrendous.

  29. I was given this opportunity to write in front of you. I believe that be given something is a gift. I was given a cookie once and it was tasty. There are five letters in the word given. Being given something means you are responsible. GIVE IT TO ME!

  32. When something is given, you know what is to be told. In the past, or possibly the present, whatever it is, it is apparent to you, or the group of people at large.. Given can also refer to something that is gifted to you, in the past.

  36. I was given a raisin one day when out of no where it grew into a beanstalk. And up that beanstalk was a woman. And near that woman was a baby. And next to that baby was a picture of myself.

  39. It’s a given. Moving sucks little green frogs. It turns your life upside down and inside out and makes you weep for the good ol’ days of not packing your life into cardboard squares. Can’t wait for this to be over.
