“Each night I am reluctant to close up because there may be someone who needs the café” (Hemingway 167). This shows that the older waiter is caring to those who need it and is willing to take out the time to help them because he is kindhearted and wants someone…

wasn't all bad on occasion we’d have fun and i didn't have to try too hard with cookies sales because my mother and grandma always took it upon themselves to ask everyone they knew to buy some and who says no to girl scout cookies? People without souls is who, but i digress. It was a nice good experience and i can’t say i have any particular regrets from it. I recall only two events from the time i…

Blanche, My dear Blanche, I realise that you are not aware of this but when I look into your eyes my entire world fills with light. It is none other than you who becomes this light that effortlessly pulls me away from the darkness within my soul: my insecurity. Your glistening locks of hair along with your elegance and sheer grace are overwhelming, yet the love and adoration that I have for you does not falter. Your large, glowing eyes like lanterns to light my way when I become lost, are full…

Ive just came through the door, tired from a long day of classes and work. As i'm entering i see you on the couch playing dark souls, and watching you curse at the screen makes me forget about any stress I had as i have to hold back my laughter.

was at. He was not Kurtz anymore. “But his soul was mad. Being alone in the wilderness, it had looked within itself and, by heavens, I tell you, it had gone mad.” He was mad with power and there was no way can overcome it. Kurtz was never subjected to being alone and not be anyone. He was mad with power an Englishman that was superior to the natives. Kurtz should have never went to Africa. He took a trip that only leads him to be this lost innocent soul that will be remembered as this…

afraid to try anything new because the circumstances were too scary to even consider. However, I knew that there was something different about my need to succeed. It was more than just a feeling but a burning desire within me. It haunted me day and night because I was not using the gifts that God had given me. Yes, the comfort zone keeps you safe, but it also prohibits your potential from reaching its highest extent. I knew I had the ability to accomplish anything that I desired. However, I…

of being lost, especially in the dark; I am afraid of the dark. Pauly came to the logical conclusion that whether we are on the trail or not, if we headed straight down the mountain, we would eventually hit railroad tracks, and be able to find the bridge from there. It did not really matter what he said at that point because in my head, lions, tigers, and bears are rallying up to eat me. As Pauly had suspected, no lions, tigers, or bears did attack us that night. We made it safely to the car,…
