    Shakespeare, like Milne, wrote stories and could pick what he wanted from the truth. What Shakespeare portrayed him as isn't necessarily true but may be based on the truth.

Being lonely isn’t always just about…

    I woke up to the irritating ring of my alarm, the smell of French toast lingering through the air, and the feeling of a spider crawling up my arm.

The shower, however, was freezing because my sisters had the same idea as me. The shower that day was…
