There once lived a woman made of Jell-O. She jiggled and wiggled as she walked. Invisible to most she was as clear as a window pane. She often wore her heart on her sleeve and ended the day with washed up colors, kind of like gelatin in hot water. You can only imagine what happened each time it rained. Bit by bit she would dissolve, all gelatin molecules and no grit. Her collagen did bind but didn't stick, for often she cooled but rarely bonded with another. She lacked courage and brave so they named her Jello-Mellow. She craved sweeteners such as aspartame and sugar, and when she didn't get the accolades, she got very very sad. There once lived a lady with vibrant colors who got washed out by life. She was a Jell-O Jiggler left at the bottom of the pan too long. Cut into more shapes and sizes then I could remember. She lived in a box and never got to see the world. Until one day a good soul took her home. Together they stuck like two Jell-O Jigglers in one heart shaped box. She was kept out of the rain and she lit up like sunshine. There once was a woman named Jell-O Jiggler, who traded her Jello for a dollop of ice cream. You can only imagine what happened when it rained ! Well that is a story for another day, Heh ! The End.

Dear Rose, your story made me smile and cringe at the same time, and only you could turn Jell-O into a symbol for all the ways we feel fragile, unseen, or washed out by life. I love how you found hope in the end, that sweet heart-shaped box of belonging. You light up even the rainiest days. Spring Blessings, My Dear Rose, Daniel

This has a cute nursery rhyme feel to it Rose, an instant classic! And there's a hidden message in there too about artificiality I think
