I could name a hundred and one mentors I’ve encountered and been influenced by, but many of them would only have a smidgen of effect on who I am now. Unsurprisingly, the most influential mentor I’ve encountered is you. There are certain things in our upbringing that influences us in a very complete way and I believe the type of parents we grow up with are one of the most impactful things. Different types of parents produce different types of people in the world and I fully believe had I had a…

Dinner had been a million years long. After getting home and getting out of the car, I felt so worn out that sickness was inevitable. Keeping my eyelids open was going to be a challenge, especially seeing that Ana was now invited over and she would be a bundle of energy until the latest possible time. Yawning, I opened the door. I almost didn 't want Ana over so I could catch up on resting... for the first time in a week. "Flower, do you think that you are too tired for tonight?" asked my…

Wind bustled through the branches of the trees, making the leaves howl in their symphony. Walking along the gravel path in the woods makes you realize how intricate the clash between weather and nature can be. Two natural forces both in harmony and constantly fighting. The rain was going to come down any second; it’s distinct smell was filling the air. Plush, intertwining clouds pushed their grey front towards where I stood. The trees continued their protest against the wind as it blew their…

I mean you really need to watch the she wolf video, Its at the bottom, who would direct that? Its SO hilarious. I mean she’s amazing, but You’d think she’d be like damn wtf am I doing?? Hahahaa! I know that’s you in the closet. The only she wolf that’s EVER, “brought me to my knees”. Porn does make people simply sexual objects. I “liked” straight/gay porn 50/50 because the men were less dramatic. I just look at your Adams apple and I am completely content. You came in like a, “wrecking ball”.…

I remember each of them as if they were yesterday, the polar plunge Jack, Flynn, and I did barely a week after I made the list. Being the first week of March in the Midwest we froze our assess off. I immediately regretted showing Jack my list at that point. He saw polar plunge and immediately signed us up for the senior plunge. I swear, who ever thought jumping into a lake in freezing temperatures was absolutely positively insane, and the fact that we have kept this tradition for so many years…

Ariana D’Anwar, princess of the planet Tamiria and first-born daughter to the royal family in over a hundred years. Life as she knew it was about to end and she prayed for someone to save her. But, she knew this was the only way to prevent a war between her beloved Tamiria and the much larger planet that everyone for years had referred to as Dark World. Ariana stood behind the closed, glass doors that lead out onto the balcony outside of her bedroom. She stared down and watched as three floors…

“I can’t believe that you would allow yourself to pay for your very first date. Did your new boo not have any money?” Lisa asked. “Actually he took the time to not only walk me to my car like a gentleman but slipped the money plus a little interest into my pocket. So don’t believe it because I didn’t pay” I replied with a smile that told Lisa to mind her own business, which when it came to Lisa, just meant for her to dig a little further to find out if he was actually worth my time. “Okay so…

Dream It was dark and cold, I couldn’t see where I was going all I know it that I am in my house in my room my mom took my light bub out and blocked my heating vent. I heard my door open and turned my head and seen my mother, she was walking towards me. “I see your still up stupid bitch.” She yelled whispered trying not to wake my brother, I started to hear my own heart beating, and my breathing quickened. I sat up on my bed and tried to run towards the door but her hand gripped my hair and…

The Being 5 Years Ago “Christina, we have to go, now!”, my best friend Gwen said. Gwen has been in my life since I was born so when she gets back from her phone call I know something’s up. “G, what is it”, I looked at my friend worried, something wasn’t right. “Your parents are in trouble, they told me to hide you and take you far away. They said they knew this day was coming but I never thought that He would find you. We have to get out of town now!”, G responded. I hadn’t a clue what was…

The Down Pours of Life I’ve always listened to people tell me that in life the bad things will come and go but the good things last forever. Today I am here to test that theory. My hypothesis to this theory is that bad things don’t always come and go and good will not always last forever. I feel this way because looking back at my life the bad things didn’t always leave and the good didn’t always stay. Here’s why I feel the way that I feel about this whole theory. I was born in Atlanta, and…
