This type of pain that caused me to flip my pillow on its opposite side, because of how damp the warm tears streaming from my face, made the pillow case at night. This virus formed terrible emotional migraines from the many thoughts of his unfaithfulness. The virus caused my stomach to turn, and I often felt like throwing up because of the innumerable number of lies that I was being fed. There had been eye redness, and runny nose from tears shed because of ridiculous assumptions that wandered throughout his head of me doing. I never would have even once thought that I would be that person to continuously go back to who tremendously hurt me, but I did, over and over again. My eventual decision to leave this relationship was by far the best one of my life, because I am now healed from this reluctant illness, with the antibiotic of realizing that I needed to love myself more, and deserved …show more content…
Our friendship was something that I had always significantly valued. He was usually kind, genuine, honest, and protective. So at that moment when we had decided to get together in an actual relationship, I instantly knew that he would make me very happy. During our relationship, Davion often told me how much he loved me, and expressed it in so many different ways. He never had much money because he never kept a job, so I was often exposed to the cheap or free things to do within the city. I never really minded where we went on dates because I was blindsided by the fact that I was in an actual relationship with one of my best friends. I quickly fell in love with him because I was sure that we would be together for a very long time. We had what most of our surrounding peer couples wanted, an actual friendship before a

    “Come along boy, we must hurry,” I said to my son as I ran amok the town trying to keep up with one another. “If we stay out any longer we might catch the plague, and we certainly don’t want that, right?

    When I was about eight years old with blue eyes, blonde braids, and wearing my favorite purple tie dye swimsuit, one of my favorite pastimes during the summer was “saving” bugs from our swimming pool. I would swim around the edges of the pool and look for bugs to rescue and nurse back to health, occasionally designating a box in which to place them. On one occasion, my mom walked outside to find me rescuing bugs and separating the living ones from the dead. I would place the dead ones on a piece of paper, but the living ones I put in my box with leaves and flowers. When my mom asked me about it, I promptly answered, "The bugs in the box are in hospice!"…

    Spreading the Gospel, One Sweatshirt at a Time All sorts of clichés and euphemisms exist that tell us every day how small and insignificant a single human being truly is in this incomprehensibly vast world. This knowledge has shaped the perception I’ve held from an impressionable child, until I experienced a chance encounter in the halls of my high school in Virginia. I come from a graduating class of 356 students I was one of only two Latter-day Saints in my entire high school, and now I am just another face in the crowd of countless LDS. However, a single event related directly to my faith has shown me the power that one individual can have in this world.…

    For a long time, I had trouble figuring out who I am as an individual. Under the conditions that I grew up in, it wasn’t always as simple as identifying myself by my race. It would be easy to say I am a Guyanese-American and proud. In the white privileged society we live in, proclaiming your ethnicity alongside the term “American” does not work out. I grew up in a predominantly Hispanic and White neighborhood.…

    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.…
