The crown sits atop your head

Chaotic, askew, and regal

Center of the universe

No other dogs fit the bill...

There was a sudden flash illuminating Kara’s field of view.

And then nothing.

Nothing but an endless dark room, where seemingly nothing and everything exist simultaneously.

But then she saw the edge of a sword — no — a knife. And in an instant she saw a trillion different realities folding onto each other like thin sheets of metal forming a single blade.

Kara saw a whole life unravel before h...

Heavy thought, heavy footsteps,

You hear a door slam.

With one look,

You promise to see me for all I am.

The heart wants what it wants,

Another soul, another view.

With a nod,

You promise that you will always be blue.

I want to leave, be free,

Take some time to be apart.

With your hands,

You promise to hold me forever in your heart.

After the mismatches, the fights,

You never ask why.

With you...

👻: What is he doing here?

💧: It’s been so long since we hung out.

👻: Do you think he’ll recognize us? DON’T MAKE EYE CONTACT!

‼️: He was a prick.

💧: But we used to be such great friends, can’t we get back there?

🤢: Absolutely not.

🤢: He’s an objectifying misogynistic asshole who threatened to sexually use you for his own personal gain.

Can I change you?

A far off, deep set horizon, barren and black

To greenery, or water, teeming with life

Can I change you?

Guarded by solid walls, stone cold, unmoving

To glimmer of emotion, vulnerability, raw honesty

Can I change you?

A void of worry, anxiety, irrelevant insecurities

To deep breaths, grounded and secure

Can I change you?

Haunted and scarred by regrets, your past

To healing, nu...

Bleary eyed, at 7:49am, I walked out of my bedroom, dragging my feet towards the bathroom of my apartment. I didn’t sleep well. I had weird, vivid dreams of not being good enough for my friends and family. Tossing and turning all night as my subconscious raced wildly didn’t lend itself to a restful sleep.

As I stared at my reflection in the bathroom mirror, I reminded myself that this Work from ...

Shoes scuff along the pavement, soles worn thin. A trail of worn out and untied shoelaces behind them. His heavy breaths echo in the cool October night, leaving puffs of condensation in their wake. The dim orange glow of the streetlights provide an illusory perception of safety, the void of shadows seemingly closing in on the light.

A crosswalk looms ahead; he still has five seconds to cross, and...

Hershey Kisses were this 11-year old’s favorite candy. Soft, gooey, melt in your mouth chocolate.

Which is why when her parents took her to Chocolate World in Hershey, PA, Jazz just had to get a memento - a teddy bear with her favorite candy on it. It didn’t hurt that the teddy bear was blue - her favorite color.

Jazz took Kisses, the bear, everywhere! To dance class, to school, and especially o...

“I think I just met the happiest person in the world!” Elizabeth rushed into the room, smile wide on her face. “Seriously, Olivia, they’re so happy. And they have every right to be.”

Olivia looked at her best friend, leveling her with a gaze, eyes narrowing.

Suspicious.

Olivia glanced at where her best friend just ran in from — the bedroom? Did Bethy meet someone online? She raised an eyebrow ...

“Fuck, why me?”

Rain poured, thick drops hitting the pavement beneath her. Water spattered up, clinging to her jeans, soaking through the blue denim, seemingly seeping into her very being, mocking her.

Thunder crackles in the distance and she shudders. It isn’t bad yet.

She peers from underneath her temporary solace, blue awning whipping around in the harsh storm winds. No lightning yet. Maybe...
