We were 16 and at a meet. I had already finished my floor routine and was waiting to be called to do my bars. While waiting, Josie had been called to do her beam routine, and since I had nothing better to do, I decided to watch it.
The flips and tricks stirred something in the pit of my stomach and the butterflies fluttered around in crazy circles. ...
For the first 6months of living in Hollywood, I stayed at hotels using money I took, and went to the free clinic for checkups on the kid. I had been very happy when I found out she was a girl. I wanted to name her Hope, but if she were a boy, I would've figured something out.
The only thing I missed was my sister, Mary. And having my own bed. However, once I turned 15, I was able to apply for e...
It was a regular day, but in a regular night last time, I heard her.
First thing I did when I got to work, was getting on the scale. âYouâre getting chubby,â my stylist had, âWe need to get you on a better diet,â
After hair, makeup, and wardrobe, we started the shoot.
8 hours later, I got home and went to the fridge. âWhat do you think youâre doing Dorothy?â
Apparently the kindhearted Carmen Iâve been hearing about for the past 2 weeks, is the same Carmen that bullied me for /years/.
âTwo faced is the person who stepped on my heart to watch it bleed. Two faced is the person who wooed my love in deed. Oh, what she has achieved,â Iâve written about Carmen before, but it apart of the collection about Josie.
It's a funny thing really, the tattoo that marks my skin. Everybody else's tattoos are a picture that brings joy to all parties, but not mine. I honestly can't tell if it's the picture or the fact that I have someone who is meant to care bout me unconditionally and vice versa. The tattoo on my right shoulder was of a phoenix, something that signified resurection and life after death. When I die, w...
Eternal Darkness was something the witch had promised for thousands of years. Though after she was banished nobody really took it seriously. Now it has been hundred years since her banishing and life is great... for everyone else. I'm what people call a 'Death Seeker' but not only is that inaccurate, it is offensive. I don't seek death, death just follo0ows me around. Let's see if I can explain, w...
Everyone has heard the stories of the Grinch and Ebenezer Scrooge, but that's all they are stories. I'll tell you the true story, the one that inspired them all. This story has many names,
ĐżĐ»ĐŸŃ ĐŸĐč ĐĄĐ°ĐœŃĐ°, slechte kerstman, mala Santa, but they all translate to Bad Santa. It was a few years after the poem "T'was the Night Before Christmas" was published in 1823, it was 1826, a man named Walter hated ...
âOh, how beautiful someone could be, when theyâre sitting right in front of me,â cheesy, I know, but it was supposed to be. It was apart of a poem in a series that would never be shared with anyone, let alone the world. All of the poems were about the same someone, the someone rambling about something while trying to eat.
I had gotten a rip and scraped my knee during gymnastics, so they took me ...
Reflection. Reflecting me. Reflecting my haunts. Reflecting my haunting insecurities. My bathroom mirror, my closet mirror, public mirrors, ponds, lakes, oceans, everything. They all show me the same thing. They all show me my scars. Inside and out. They all show me my marks. Skin and hair. They all show me my bumps. Above and below. I hate them. I hate them all... but do I have to? My acne scars,...
Another horrible date. Hi, Iâm June and I just got back from yet another horrible date. Every guy I meet is bad, some are cheating on their partners, others are cat fishers. Sometimes I feel like love is just some big joke. Anyway, tomorrow Iâve got class. I go to UCR. I major in writing and minor in botany so I spend most of my time writing in my journal in the gardens. A few days ago at class th...
