saying my life is beautifully dysfunctional? Each of my family members are like a different colors in the same painting, they all have different tones and shades. The both good and bad quality about these colors is that some of them are extremely vibrant in color and rage with exuberance, while others are soft and quiet with calm tones; the one thing in common is they all come together like a beautiful painting; that is what I love about my family.

Ever since I was little I always wondered why I was never good enough for anything. I felt like I was not good enough for my family, and I still believe this to this day. My family treats me so different than they do to anyone else. I know I was never good enough in school because no one ever wanted me in their class. I strived for straight “A”s and sometimes that just was not enough. I wanted all the extra credit and higher grades than anyone. I made it a mission to do everything that I could…

The Boardwalk Muse I followed the ancient, rickety boardwalk through the rows of corn that went to the ends of my Earth. The early summertime dew had a perfume of light magic that hung in the air like the fireflies that danced in and out of my vision. Pounding against the decrepit boards, my bare feet were getting tired from the running I was doing, but I couldn 't stop now.
