“I really just want to hold your hand. I want to sleep on your shoulder and think about how I could do that forever. I want your arms around me and my hands in your hair. I want so much that I don’t know what I want. One fact is for sure: I want you, and I want to be happy. I just wish there was a way to have both.” This comes from a private blog post entitled What I Want Right Now by the confused 11th grade version of myself. It was March 2015 and I was over three months deep into my first…

Deforestation, a highly controversial topic that has multiple sides with different opinions flying everywhere. And sure enough, this opinionated topic has one of the greatest impacts on the planet, and that is if our species will continue thriving, or face our own demise. From learning about the ecological standpoint of our green nature around earth, I found the topic exciting and an opportunity to see how we as humans can change the course of history for our planet. Yet what I come to find…

The Moment Sarah Matthews looked out of the window of her single-story house from her window seat that overlooked her backyard. Her eyes began to fill with tears. Today marked two years to the day since she lost her baby girl. She can remember the day of when it happened. Like it was yesterday because the pain was still there.

Look, we don’t have a problem with you staying here, but we don’t want you bringing guys in our house without our approval. So don’t let it happen again. Do you here me?” Hawaii rolled her eyes and said, “Yeah,…

IN THE BRIEF MOMENTS FOLLOWING HIS DEATH, Senator Donald Welt was sure of one thing, he was dead. That much he knew for certain. But there were other things he didn’t know of course. The small things, the details. Who had shot him? Why had they shot him? What was next?

Thank you for your patience in waiting for my response. The idea of our compatibility has been something that I think we both have been curious about since we first really noticed the divide between us. I know that at that time, it took us by surprise how we let things get the way they are. We have now had some time to get used to life in the new situation. It has not been what we both expected it would be for ourselves, and each other, I would guess. I love the way you are with Taran,…
