“I have worked for this moment,” I repeat to myself as much as I need to. The moment has lasted a day, being crowned Queen Montgomery the II. I walked proudly to the podium to be presented with that gorgeous crown, is what I said years ago. I lay flatly in a box. Boxes will never be flattering, the people just think that. My soul rushed in the box of things, thoughts, and swirls of imagination. I ...

_The day I had been waiting for finally arrived: receiving my MBA degree. It was one of my dreams, and I was deeply committed to pursuing it. The journey was incredibly challenging, with moments of wanting to give up, missing classes due to work commitments, and struggling with time management._...

The day I’ve been waiting for has finally arrived! I’ve always dreamed of singing a chicken nugget song with a whale, and finally got my chance. We went to the beach this morning, and I got onto a boat we rented. In the distance was a whale, and he asked me if he could come on board. I said yes, and the whale got onto the boat. We started singing a chicken nugget song and got hungry, so we ate fas...

This is that one day. That one day I prayed for. That one day that I’d wanted to see start, but… now I want to end? Do I want to cry, or hate, or fake? when it comes it’s not picture perfect and not what they promised. I don’t know why. Why I tried to think it was all fine when it’s not. i’m done. i’m over. i’m finished. So i guesss this is the start of pain....

The day I had wished would hurry up and end

Is now behind me.

And the day I've longed for has finally arrived.

Yet instead of anticipation and excitement

A feeling of disappointment comes over me.

Because in the blink of an eye

It will be over

Maybe I should have appreciated the days leading up to this.

Seen them as opportunities instead of speed bumps.

All I wanted was to enjoy this time,

Yet n...

You know Harry and Frodo

And Sophie and Fitz

Wednesday and Tyler

And Joy and Sadness

But do you recall

One of the most famous characters of all

Terry the Country Cockorach

Had a very country hat

And if you ever saw it

That roach you would want to smack

All of the other characters

Used to cackle and insult him

They never let poor Terry

Join in any movie...

I know today is the day,

And the anxiety follows,

I’m about to say,

The words that I can’t swallow.

I walk down the aisle,

Flowers in hand,

I stare at him for awhile,

I can barely stand.

The time has come,

To shed my last name,

God, he’s handsome,

As hot as a flame.

‘I love you Chase’,

I express in tears,

He kisses me with grace,

And melts away my fears....

There is nothing more joyful than having a grandchild. Do you know how hard it is to sit in a lunch room and see all those photographs. It is so difficult to be intrested in the same stories over and over. Different names and different days are the only changes.

But today it is my story they have to listen too. I anxiously wait at our usual table in the break room. Today will be a great day...

Now here we are, the end of May with nowhere to go but a summer full of new adventures. Where will we go on vacation this year? Dad hasn’t said, but I’m sure it’s going to be a fun time. I’ll be able to see my friends a lot more too, especially with Adam moving next door last month. I can play basketball with my new hoop, or I can stay home and get on the game with some of my friends that have mov...

The day I’ve been waiting for

Has finally arived

I’ve gotten rid of your shadow

And your hold on my mind

I’m free to be myself

Without you in mind

I have a new friendship

One that this time won’t end

You don’t haunt me

I’ve been happy these past few days

I’ve been sleeping well

Without your dreams plaguing my brain

I have new memories to hold on to

A new life to begin

A new story

I get to start o...
