People say that love can make you do crazy things. A short story written by Hans Andersen called “The Little Mermaid” sounds like a story based on this quote. This story is about a young mermaid who wants to be loved. In the story the young mermaid has a growing obsession with the world of the humans. She dreams of the day that she is allowed to go to the surface, sit on the rocks, and watch the ships go by. The girls are only allowed to go to the surfaces at the age of fifteen and at night.…

teens are coming out as LGBT in their early teens, as early as thirteen years of age. 1.6 million youth are homeless each year with 40% of them identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. These numbers are disproportionally high because 7% of the youth population in the United States is LGBT (“True Colors,” 2016).

this was funny because I am a Cardinal’s fan myself and I knew I could maybe joke around with him. It turns out he ventures out to the end of the road everyday in a uniform and waves cubs flags at traffic passing by the facility.

I think everyone has their own delusions that they enjoy being a part of, well, at least for a while. How long though can we live out these delusions, until life catches up to show us we must come to terms with our inner demons? I’ve always told others and myself that honesty is the most valuable asset anyone can have, but then I live out my lie. There have been countless times I’ve put up this front of might, just to know deep down inside, it 's all a play to hide something from the rest of the…

word choice before this class had been extremely basic and simple. Another thing that I needed to work on was being able to convey my message on paper. I typically had very good ideas but when I go to put them down on paper they could not seem to come out the way I want them too. My biggest thing coming into this class was trying to work on my…

(as if they could), and when the bar finally closes it 's just as well because there 's a song on the bar radio that her Daddy used to play in his truck and that 's the last thing Wynonna really needs. So she cradles a cold bottle of something right out the swinging double doors and drinks all the way home.…

I?” An entire branch of philosophy devoted to how to approach the question and still, I have no definite answer, though there has been some great art to come out of it. Thankfully, I have a bit more… “specificity” to work with, limits have been put down, as well as the much easier “why” to scribe. All about the idea of nature.
