October 18

It was a chilly afternoon in the neighborhood of Majesty Oaks Estates. The autumn breeze is blowing this afternoon, and it is a safe haven for both the birds in the trees and the neighborhood kids at play. One could say this was the safest neighborhood around. I find this neighborhood to be relaxing during the holiday season. Today, I must finish my last assignment before I graduate. ...

Here I am.

I am Me.

Self-awareness can be both a gift and a horrendous curse that dwells on one’s mind. My vulnerability at the moment is the escape I need to progress further in this lifetime. If there is a like-minded individual who is engrossed with the demands of everyday affairs, don’t worry I’m just like you.

Some people call us empaths or altruists.

This sums up who I am at this sta...

Take me back to a time of peace.

If this is what life is, I can’t even fathom what death will bring.

Is it painful? Is it sweet? Will I be met with some masked figure with skulls that bring me to my ultimate demise? I hope not on that last one.

Unfortunate events are currently molding the character from within. I can’t explain it, but said character is rapidly growing at a remarkable speed,...

Julissa cut up the last of the sausage and chicken that was to be included in this year’s gumbo for the annual Bazaar at St. Mary's Chruch.

"I held her hand tight, and I wasn't letting go."

It was as if the air surrounding us was calling us to come into an embrace. My heart was pounding. My hands were beginning to sweat, but my love for her was yearning. The very thought of her presence capsulated me into a puddled mess. I couldn’t fathom the thought of losing her to another. That is not what I wanted. Truth be told, I knew she woul...

“Why must I be so strong in the face of adversity?”

Looking into the mirror, I see a lifeless reflection staring back at me with no emotion to confront the lifeless corpse. The everyday soul is either tirelessly working to carry society's burdens or carelessly going about its life as if it were a mediocre rabbit.

Trying to stay one step ahead is a foolish game for those who don’t know any bett...

The wind blows my hair. I’m standing on the edge again. Is this a reality? I can’t fathom this not being a dream because of the vivid details that seem all too real. The slight breeze is blowing moderately against my skin and hair. It feels like a gentle hand is caressing my face. What is to come of this experience?

Nonetheless, today has felt oddly inspiring. A sense of tranquility and warmth r...

From where I stand, there is an ominous presence I can’t fathom. The scenery has turned to a gloomy outpouring of misery, but I hope what is sure to come will be filled with mystery.

The ground is glistening with morning dewdrops from the cloudy sky. A purple haze appears in the distance, sparking a debate about what it is.

The closer, I get, the more it looks like a portal. Where does it lead ...
