English Creative Writing Exercise: TRY IT!

okay so we were given this exercise in english for creative writing, and i was so disappointed with my own lack of creativity, i thought "hey! i bet moon children would be AMAZING at this!"

so i suck at explaining things but here it goes:

choose a theme or topic and STICK WITH IT while you fill in the gaps of the following:

I'm leading a ______ life.
______ is my money.
______ is my language.
I fall in love with ______ and dream of ______.
Only ______ can understand me.
I talk to ______.
Once I was ______ and soon I will become ______.
My mother is ______. My father is ______.
I fear ______ and I laugh at ______.
I am ______.

I added the last line because I didn't like ending with "I laugh at ______" but oh well. Please feel free to change some words so that it makes more sense to you. Don't spend too much time on it. The whole point is to just scribble down whatever comes to mind. Happy writing!

Here are some of mine (cheesy, but i tried):
