Synonym: Aspie Fangirl (phan-grrl): (noun) a young female human being who puts way too much emotional investment into fictional characters and the actors who portray them Writer (rite-err): (noun) one who writes Potential (puh-ten-shul): (noun) someone or something that is considered a worthwhile possibility In every generation, there are young Catholics.

I\u2019m a cradle Catholic who\u2019s experienced both Catholic and public school. I was diagnosed with Asperger\u2019s Syndrome in 6th grade and a lover of the written word long before that.

None of the shows I currently watch and love are what people call \u201cmainstream\u201d except for Doctor Who and Agent Carter. I also love musicals and taking pictures on Instagram.

I am pretty much open to whatever vocation God is calling me to. But the first call I and every other young Catholic out there has to answer is the call to holiness.\",\"sameAs\":[\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/moniqueocampowrites\"],\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/moniqueocampowrites\/author\/mocampo\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Coming This Summer: Dissonance by Mariella Hunt","description":"Fifteen-year-old Allie Grant lives crippled by her illness.
