familiar confusion.
the taunting taste of bittersweet welcome
infatuation battling potential
swallowing the circling doubts
exposed, blinking
here i am.

She steps slowly, the oaken floorboards, hundreds of years older than her, creaking under her barefeet. The attic. A place of mystery, of promise, of explanations. The portal, she hopes, to explain her history. Why she is who she is. Through the small, dirty gable window, late afternoon sun filters through into the space. Dust particles, suspended in the beam, caught in their humble and...

Plastic Forks.
Today I was sitting at lunch, looking around me, and thinking about how much WASTE my school must create everyday that is going to sit around, NOT decomposing or being recycled in our landfills until the earth is one huge dumpster and we all suffocate from the trash fumes. So I decided to think it through a little.
At my school, we don’t have metal silverware. Meaning everyday at lunch,...

Class.
You know, I really wish sometimes that I had spent my teenage years in the late 40s/ early 50s. Not for the put down the women and we hate black people (a particularly ugly part of our history. Vom.) but for the other aspects of their culture- more specifically, their fashion and music. I mean, hello!? They were so classy! Modestly dressed, but still bombshells. And big band and swing music?...

I’m not sure if you all know what I’m talking about, but right now, I have a little bubble of happy in my stomach. Just chillin’ there, being all warm and fuzzy and glowy and all that good stuff little balls of happy do.
I’m in a good place today. I think it’s because the end of the school year is drawing closer, and there are just SO many new possibilities and...
Underused Word of the Day.
I just realized that I have not posted an underused word for an unacceptably long time. I shall correct this now.
Enrapture: (trans verb): To give intense pleasure of joy to.
Thesaurus: captivate, enthrall, beguile, intoxicate
I was enraptured by the boy’s devilish smirk and the woody smell of his cologne.
Really, really cool project. →

Imma get me some real good edjamacation! I have finally (hooray!) selected the college I will be attending next fall (hooray!)

SO EXCITED!!! (two...
My Brain, a Narrative.
So maybe its a result of my reading more than the average child, or maybe its a result of my desire to be an author, or maybe its even the cause of these things in the first place, but I think in narrative. I don’t want to say I don’t think like other people, because for all I know other people do the same thing, but I narrate my life from my head. When I’m showering, my...
