Life experience

There are some experiences one can go through that will change one's entire life. It does not matter if they are good or bad, it does not matter if everything seems wrong, because at one point, maybe later on in life, you will realize that every single experience does matter a lot and can enhance your view on everything that surrounds you.
I have had a couple of non-inspirational days, in which I dod not write anything, I read a lot, but that's all I could do. After last night, however, I have so many new ideas for my new project, that I believe will turn into a very appreciated story. I showed my scribbles to a friends, the diagrams, the characters' timelines and dialogues I've set up till now and she said that she would definitely read it. It seems interesting and ultimately believebale.
I like to write from my own life experience and sometimes use actual dialogue.

And now for whoever is interested here is a sneak preview of a few lines of my upcoming novel:
"'What was wrong with you last night?'
'Nothing' he said, not even himself believing the words coming out of his mouth. But, well, he had to act strong. He decided the night before that he wouldn't care anymore. He cared enough. 'I don't really want to talk about it right now'
She smiled and gazed into his eyes.
'Jealousy kicked in?'
What the heck, he thought, I might as well say it.
'Maybe...'
'Just so you know, I'm not exclusive' she whispered, expecting his reaction. 'I really don't want you to take this seriously'
'Uhm, all right, OK, got it. It's not a problem for me.' He was a good liar. But it just didn't feel right.
