we never dated
I haven’t had the cleanest track record with dating. In fact, I’m known in my family for (unintentionally) leading guys on a lot. I find it kind of funny. It’s a seasonal occurrence when some guy falls in love with me just for me to accidentally play in their face. I don’t mean to. I… Continue reading

Iris
I have a problem. I delve too far into my future that I begin planning it out before things even happen. Right now, I am thinking too far deep into my future children and my genetic eye disease. I’m still not entirely sure if they’re even going to exist. I’m not sure how much worse… 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

Don’t Smile
I’ll admit, on a blog where I am supposed to be writing fearlessly, I have been writing cautiously. When you’ve come across rare, semi-rare, and not so rare experiences, the best way to cope with them is to speak on them. However, when these experiences involve other people, you tend to feel more caved in… Continue reading

New Romantics
My sophomore year of high school, my heart was ransacked, my mind was twisted, my soul was diminished. It was all I ever wrote about. It was the only thing I knew for certain as a 15-year-old girl. My life has been saved by many people, myself included. I have many people to thank for… Continue reading

Your Best American Girl
The first ever story I published on a website was titled ‘Your Best American Girl.’ I figured it was only right to name my first blog post the same thing. This time, I found it reasonable to write about the girl behind the story. My name is Aileen and I’m a writer. This is about… Continue reading
