I felt myself get warm, I began to fidget, I felt even more self-conscious. I hated him talking to my father as if he were a child and then calling him “boy,”…
I have ordered the Lulu Ruffled dress in rose tulle about a month ago and I still have not received it, I have tracked down my order multiple times and it’s like my order does not exist. I am very unhappy and highly disappointed! I payed so much money for this dress and really don’t understand what is happening. I have tried to call UPS and other local Saint Laurent stores and I have not gotten an answer from either and I don’t know who else to contact.…

I couldn't agree more, sometimes I think to myself as well if I have any repressed memories that impact my personality. I never used to be so compulsive or expressive, but I think that has to do with a defense mechanism of mine. I know I have some repressed memories that have molded my personality to be more defensive at times, although I don't like that myself, I do feel it is a defense mechanism to be guarded for protection. I honestly did the same thing with the denial mechanism with my best friend during high school. I was in denial because of my friends passing just wasn't acceptable, and when people approached or confronted me, I pretended as though he was on a long vacation.…
The Hunted I didn’t know who I was. I woke up next to a bunch of muddy kids. They all smelled like they haven't showered in weeks. There was two twins, a chubby kid, and probably the skinniest kid I’ve ever seen. Then I realized I smelled just like them.…

The Arrival I had originally planned to travel to Rio on September 5th through September 12th. A perspicacious and experienced hunter named Rainsford accompanied me. It was nighttime when I first spotted land of any sort. It was vaguely visible and was opaque, so misty that even Rainsford couldn’t see it. Utterly tired, I began drifting off, dreaming of the adventures we were soon to face.…
Exiting Pratt Institute with a degree in sculpture into the Big Apple, I held my breath and clutched the edge of my seat. I remembered how confident and prepared I had felt before beginning my college adventure. Having been a part of RAW Art Works for three years before entering Pratt, my RAW family had empowered and gave me skills that I still cherish today. But while studying at school, I quickly realized that the family I had at RAW was not easy to come by or to be recreated. The day I graduated from Pratt, I left feeling incredibly proud of the work and growth I had made as an artist and now young man.…
The people’s reaction to me breaking the social norm of wearing shoes in the house was a mixture of confusion, anger, and ignorance. The behaviors they displayed were expected as they didn’t understand why I haven’t taken off my shoes yet. Some continued to look at my feet and scanning my body over and over without saying anything, while others, mostly the adults, would be angry at my actions. However, a few relatives didn’t notice my shoes, as they assumed I have already taken them off. At first, my family thought I had an important task to do, so they disregarded it.…
Dealing With Adversity It was the summer before fourth grade when I was told that my dad had cancer. He was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer when I was ten years old. The day I found out was mostly a normal day. I was told in our dining room. For the next exiguous days after that I was depressed.…
He sat in the corner in a cold damp grim room. Fragments of a single perpetual light, escaping just as it gave gasps of its dying breaths, flickering through the concave parallels of what he assume were walls. He could hear the rhythm of his heart throbbing as if a small marching percussion was playing in his chest. His palms were clammy as he quivered in his unhinged thoughts. Thinking what his life would have been like if he hadn't opened it, or had seen what he believed was the probable cause for his horrific experience.…
I killed a couple of boys. Their souls of course. And like serial killers I felt no remorse nor pain. It was like a kid wide-eyed on his tip toes trying to reach for a cookie from the cookie jar. That was me, the cookie jar, hard to reach, emotionally.…
The sickness that I live with is one that some would find excessively appalling, making it impossible to talk about; so I kept it to a whisper. This sickness I thought was to embarrassing to talk about, making it impossible to seek help, left me feeling alone in the dark. This sickness ruined friendships, without me realizing it. This sickness that made getting out of bed a struggle for me. This sickness made it impossible for me to see a positive future, until the day I stopped calling myself “crazy” and began to grow from what we all call, depression.…

My experience of stress can be best described as a rollercoaster, steadily climbing and once at the top it can plunge down and back up and to the left and to the right, almost as if the stress is controlling the ride. Stress has changed over the years as well. My early childhood life didn’t include the worry of life, but the concern of self. I grew up as a very shy individual and was constantly scared to talk or speak in many situations. I am not sure how or why I was a shy individual, but it was a big stressor during my early development.…
