Slow Dancing In The Dark
I fought long and hard to maintain the burning hatred I have for you to ultimately realize that I have none. I never knew how to write a story about you. About us. About the hell you put me through. I finally get it. I finally feel it. I cracked the code. I couldn’t write Continue reading

Let Down
I feel like I have officially reached ‘let down’ status. My life is a literal mess. I am a literal mess. I went from being on my knees, begging to be normal, to going out and living life while also experiencing the worst parts of it. Years of begging to be free and happy have Continue reading

Bejweled
After years of being held captive and thrown overboard I have officially washed up on shore. I haven’t posted a story in so long but trust there has been so much going on in my life. The more life goes on the more I realize I could write a book about how hectic it is. Continue reading

Landslide
I know it’s not a big deal. I know my life’s not over. I know there’s still so much I’m going to do. I know I’m young. I know I am loved and supported. I know I have my family. I know I’m going to move forward from this. I can’t help but be negative Continue reading

Dear Doe,
I have yet to cross paths with you to which I am most grateful for. You live down the street and I still haven’t seen you since freshman year. The same year you ruined our friendship forever. But that’s not fair to say to you. What’s fair to say is you ruined us before we Continue reading

Soon You’ll Get Better
I think I speak for not only my family but for everyone with a beloved mother that the hardest thing to experience in life is sickness. No matter the severity of any illness whether it’s a cold, flu, maybe even strep throat, it hurts to witness your mother get sick. The worst part of witnessing Continue reading

Look After You
Last year I made a brave decision not every young person has to make. In fact, i’ve made a lot of decisions that not many people my age have ever had to make. Around this time last year, it would’ve been two and half months since I had last seen my boyfriend. We didn’t break Continue reading

I Could Be a Good Mother
I feel like it’s inevitable for a young girl to dream of a life with her own family. Dressing her daughter in Strawberry Shortcake overalls, braiding her daughter’s hair, bouncing on the trampoline with her beloveds. I used to be one of those girls. Sometimes. I stopped wanting children when my eldest sister had my Continue reading
