Overcoming my Story
My experience has been far from conventional, but I suppose that is how my life has always been. To screwed up to be considered privileged, or even normal. And yet to average to be aloud that small amount of leeway the kids with really messed up families get. This is not a story I tell freely.
I was born into a broken family. My Mother and Father had been marred five years before bringing me into...

“Let me ask you something, in all the years that you have…undressed in front of a gentleman has he ever asked you to leave? Has he ever walked out and left? No? It’s because he doesn’t care! He’s in a room with a naked girl, he just won the lottery. I am so tired of saying no, waking up in the morning and recalling every single thing I ate the day before, ...
How To Get Your Heart Broken For The First Time
Start to worry. He used to do things like bring you a cup of water without asking and rub your back but now he won’t even bring you soup if you’re sick. This is how you know he’s falling out of love with you.
Become frantic and confused. How can you become the person he still loved two weeks ago? Begin to wear the clothes he has said he liked the most on you. Wear his favorite t-shirt, his...

Have no idea how to carry a conversation. Answer people’s questions in a way that allows no more movement in...
Fairy Tales That Would Make A Great Movie: The...

The story begins with a happily married rich man and his wife wishing for a child. They have a beautiful juniper tree in their front yard, where wife goes to whenever she needs to pray. One day, she cuts herself and a drop of blood lands at the base of the ...
Love Letters
That night when I kissed you I left a poem in your mouth.
You can still hear some of the lines every time you breathe out.
And it’s not the best thing I’ve ever written; I’m still working on my rhythm.
My tongue gets tied sometimes,
My throat gets dry,
My hands start trembling.
Honestly… the only thing I’ve mastered is how to write a really good beginning.
But I am getting pretty tired of opening...
Things you will never get back.
The old wooden house buried in the back of a deserted town, where you spent every weekend with your grandparents. On a good day it was the one stable thing you had in your life. The hours you spent playing in the garden and going to bed even though you could still see the daylight clinging to the horizon through your second story window.
The afternoons when you sat outside the brick school...
