As a curious soul with stubborn ways death has always been hard for me to grasp and accept. I have such an overwhelming amount of compassion that it’s hard for me to cope with death.

Breathless It’s the beginning of fall here in the Big Apple, a time of year that brings out both senses of calm and crazy. The apartment I share with my boyfriend is dark and cool, the only light is from the moon as it seeps its feathery blue rays through the curtains. My body is cocooned in the warm covers all alone as I try and keep myself warm without the usual body heat my boyfriend provides.

She had just been in a head on collision while she was driving to…

Hi guys. I know it has been a while since I have put anything up and I am sorry for that. I was in college, I just graduated and now have more free time on my hands. There is a topic I have wanted to talk about for a while now. I am still not sure how it will go over but I want to break it down and put it out there regardless. That topic revolves around this idea of self-imposed victimization. I feel like there is no accurate way I can describe how this makes me feel, all I know is it is…

It is September 1st. School is starting really soon for me. I was discharged about a week ago but am still pretty sore. Every thing I see in the corner of my eye scares me and makes me scream, thanks to that dreadful foreboding night. I’m scared for Aiden and my unborn baby regardless on what the police officers said. Jason is still out there and can attack at any moment. The police are on high alert and constant search for him but it doesn’t help me sleep at night knowing he can still find me.…
