"If equal affection cannot be, let the more loving one be me."-W.H. Auden I've come to recognize the little girl I once was is still very much a part of me. She always comes to me with curiosity and hopes to find the answers to the tough questions I once avoided. Perhaps she is the [...]
What is about seeing a place I know I shouldn’t be that makes me want to go there? I imagine this as the opening line to the book that I may never get around to write. The one where I expose my every weakness page after page. Hoping that somehow my words will reach someone [...]
I'm 16 all over again as I scan the overcrowded yet disorderly organized walls of my dad's workshop, wondering if there's anything I could give him that he hasn't already gotten for himself. He told me he didn't want anything, but ever since I can remember, he's instilled in me the importance of gratitude. So [...]
