In the coming years, I anticipate revisiting the serene landscapes of Olympia, Washington, and Northern California. My parents' long-divorced status added a layer of complexity to an already difficult situation, and I believe that the passage of time will bring new perspectives. I am looking forward to finding peace and closure.

As I move forward, I anticipate creating new positive moments and c...

I couldn't forget one thing, one precious promise that I clung to after my father passed away. If he were still here, my mom and I wouldn't have bickered about money and school, but rather about which flowers to plant in our garden. I yearned for lavender and blueberries, while she insisted on lemongrass and midnight iris. After our family fell apart, we ended up planting both. The blend of fruity...

After the coffee is finished, she strolls about the woods and drinks tea. She likes to go to the woods and clear her mind. It becomes the clarity of her day each morning. She smells the first time of rainfall. It blends to the grass. Also, meditation helps to ease and soothe the stress of her life. Sometimes she goes to yoga before heading to college. She attends school every Tuesday morning and T...

I am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions.

I was born from a hurricane of rage and the seed sown in shame.

Yet I embraced with fiery grace, defying fate

I took my place.

In the crucible of adversity, I was forged.

Each trial and tribulation only empowered my courage.

No hand to help, no loving grace.

But within me a flame ablaze.

My laughter echoes through the nigh...

5000 hours after high school graduation here ultimately we are- university roommates.

Here in the bustling town of Olympia, there was I, a freshman. I was just beaming with excitement and a touch of anxiety as I moved in. As I unpacked my boxes and bags, that eagerness continued. The only shadow looming over this bright beginning light was the memory of a high school student, my arch nemesis, Per...

Shoulder-length Auburn and twirly ringlets with almond lowlights.

Alabaster with a blue and peachy birthmark under her left eye, several chemistry tattoos, and only freckles on her legs and arms

perfectly white but with one ‘vampire tooth’ on the right side her ears have a helix piercing on the left side, the palest part of her skin.

Eyes- hazel with grey circles, long fake eyelashes.

Lips :...

Father I want to thank you for the memories even if they were not mine or always kind to me: my mother taught me to always respect my elders even though death parted us all thirteen years ago.

The unwanted memories still remain.

The most innnocent I could imagine being and breaking my own Heavenly Father’s heart.

How could you forget all these beers ago, haunted by your own past.

Still waiting...

I’m grateful for the sweet smell of honeysuckle and rosemary in my garden.

I’m grateful for how close I am to staying motivated.

I’m grateful for the time I take to care for my mother.

I’m grateful to have met you, who I will always love and hold dear in my heart.

I’m grateful for planning a future.

I’m grateful for my mind and how my perception of this life has changed.

I’m grateful for the...

If only the dream of freedom was more just wondering imagination and lost responsibility.

If only I could tell you that justice, having a nation of equity and equality is more than socialism; it’s fair to every average American.

If only you knew how much I miss you.

If only you would listen to my voice cracking as I tell you I’m sorry.

If only you would have told me the future that you planned...

If your hand could reach inside my heart, what would you do with it?

Would you try to see if your touch could feel it skipping a beat?

Would you pull my heartstrings even tighter and tell me how you miss me?

Would you tell me to be quiet?

Would you hold my heartstrings like a madman whose piano needs tuning?

Would you insist on your voice being the last melodious thing I hear? Would you rathe...
