Almost a decade ago I dated a beautiful girl. She had bright blonde curly hair and the sweetest smile. She was a few years younger then me but we fell in love immediately. I took her to meet my family. My mom showed her pictures of me as a little boy. I met her parents. Her dad loved my jokes. We would sip coffee and talk for hours. I took her to my sister’s house. We sang in the car on the way th...

This song is about meeting someone and getting the biggest crush on them. It starts with small talk and slight laughing. Smiles and eye contact. All leaving you with the bubbly feeling in your stomach and blush on your face. Then you go home and wonder if they felt the same when meeting you. You stay up wondering and thinking about them. Do they love someone else? What do they think of you? Will t...

Dear younger me,

If only I could tell my 13 year old self that you won’t remember those girls who made fun of you in the hallways at school for wanting to live out your dreams. If only I could tell my 16 year old self that the boy who broke up with you at 3am over a short phone call will become a distant memory. If only I could tell my 19 year old self that you don’t need to impress others to love...

A memory is forgotten when there’s no one to keep it alive. Suppose you have a memory of going to the beach when you were ten. You remember the hot sun hitting your skin, the sand beneath your toes, how you played in the water for two hours, how you collected a couple of dozen seashells, your whole family there with you, mom, dad, little brother, grandma, aunt, uncle, cousin. You remember watching...

This animal is a little over a year old boy. He feels soft and loves to be pet unless he is in a bad mood or hungry, then he will run away or swat you with his paw. He loves to take naps on blankets. He loves when the sun comes in through the window and he can lay in it on the floor and sun bathe. He sometimes likes to spill his water bowl and then tracks paw prints all over the house. He gets in ...

My adrenaline rushed as I waited to go on stage. The hot lights were warming the whole auditorium up. Music was blasting, filling the room. I stood off-stage waiting for my turn to perform. I can do this. I’ve trained for ten years, I know what I’m doing. I double-checked my pointe shoe to make sure it wouldn’t come untied. I made sure my tutu was fluffed, in doing so thousands a tiny violet spark...

Slowly I entered the woods. The wet soil squished beneath me, covering my toes in mud. I walked carefully, making sure to not step on anything. The rain began. I could smell the fresh rain as it started hitting my face drop by drop. I could feel the breeze picking up making the air colder. I shivered. My hair blew with the breeze as I walked deeper into the woods. I heard crickets and cicadas chir...

I jolted upright quickly from my sleep. The sun was coming in through my window hitting my face, warming it, just like the days before. It was 6:00am, just like the previous mornings. I was in my pink fuzzy pajama pants and junior year t shirt, just like the mornings before. I grabbed my phone which was sitting on my night stand, just as the mornings before. The date was October 13th 2021, just li...
