I am seriously an open book. I've been writing semi-autiobiographical fiction since I was in 6th grade (1972) then, in 2001, Little, Brown published my first middle grade novel, about my life in 6th grade! titled "What Every Girl (except me) Knows." Twenty years and fifteen books later, that still, pretty much sums things up.

DISAPPOINTMENT (ten-minute memoirs)
Disappointment or Love? Just Love
By Meira Rosenberg
It’s a funny thing, disappointment. I think it must be the first cousin of regret, noodling around together in our subconscious with evil half-smiles on their faces poking at this memory and that until they hear an ouch.
Every now and then, or maybe every day, I wonder if my parents would be disappointed in me. On bad days, I think yes—deeply.

“Romance goes like this:
Boy gets girl.
Boy loses girl.
Boy gets girl again.
The end.
It can't be any other way.”

“All we are, all we can be, are the stories we tell," he says, and he is talking as if he is talking only to me. "Long after we are gone, our words will be all that is left, and who is to say what really happened or even what reality is? Our stories, our fiction, our words will be as close to truth as can be. And no one can take that away from you.”

“Why do people want everyone to act just like they do? Talk like they do. Look like they do. Act like they do.
And if you don't—
If you don't, people make the assumption that you do not FEEL what they feel.
And then they make the assumption—
That you must not feel anything at all. ”
