Their hard times softened them,

The tearing of their hearts

Glueing them together.

They lived a long time ago

But their story is told

Each and every day...

**I must be a failure to be a success.**

I wasn’t always like this. I used to not care about my grades or pieces of work. But, now I can’t submit anything without questioning the logistics. I had to start as a failure to be a success....

Sometimes less is more

Like a handwritten letter for your birthday

It feels like more than a meaningless item

Like smoking cigarettes

The less you smoke the longer you live

Like being in a relationship

It seems the more I care

The less you care...

Paradox

What’s not

Or hot

But cold

As ice

Is twice

Or once

Sometime you gotta close the door to open a window.

“It’s hard to juggle through your life.” She says, throwing three oranges at a time.

“Like what you’re doing right now?” He says, face cold and stern. It was supposed to be a joke.

“Hey, don’t be bitter. I was just kidding.” She spares him a glimpse, carelessly speeding up her action. The light fragrances of orange are expanded with the heat i...

My nails are painted red but green matches my mood

No I’m not mad, just happy

You kissed me on the forehead and I fell to my knees

Begging you darling to offer me a little reprieve

Your cold touch

Melted my heart

While my mind spiralled into chaos

At your organized thoughts

**[Flashbacks will be in bold]**

You have to lose yourself in order to find yourself.

My friends were taking that saying way to literally. Olivia was whispering furiously to James, who sat in the Captains seat. They found the map, and were trying to find out where we were.

If there’s one thing I can say about them, they do not work well under stress. Zephyr was biting her nails as she kept r...

Tough love, as the first word holds true, it is the toughest love one can give. Optimism in seeing the hoped result unfold, and the fear of uncertainty. To make a grand gesture takes guts but to do what is necessary when it hurts takes trusting your mind over matter. Guts fuel bravery and your mind helps you love rationally. Unfortunately we are conditioned to listen to our gut over our intuition....

You have to lie to tell the truth.

Sometimes it feels like lying is better. And it is! Or, at least in some cases.

You see, growing up, I was a big liar. I would lie about who who took the last cookie, or the first cookie. Sooner or later, I would have to confess, and the consequences were more harsh than if I fessed up right away. I soon learned that lying is a necessity in the early life. There ...

“If there is one thing I know it is that I know nothing,” Mr. Douglas said brightly.

Mr. Douglas was that guy in the complex who waved at everyone and said “don’t take any wooden nickels.” What was the wooden nickels some oldtimey folk band? Mr. Douglas decorated his stoop every holiday and swept the sidewalk in front of his door every week. Mr. Douglas was that guy.

He also had a lot of plant...
