The Little Things

My Golf Cart Stories Some and or most of these should be relatable to you, because these are all the good times I had with my golf cart back at my old house when I lived near you. Hope you enjoy the memories! My Brother’s accident It was a cloudy day, and I remember it perfectly. Well… actually I was young so I don’t remember it perfectly, but the image of him getting absolutely demolished is still in my mind clearly and it’s glorious. Now, I remember that it was a few weeks before school,…

I believe in change. As defined by the webster dictionary change is to become different. And although simple and not very original I really love this definition because as you change you’re becoming different and you're becoming unique you’re becoming who you are. Change is what kicks us in the ass and makes us try something new. The four defining changes in my life were moving to New York, traveling to costa rica, switching high schools and now coming to SMU. So moving wasn't my decision as I…

German sports cars, they were all my favorite. I never really had a hobby or a future that I wanted. I was even criticized by my own father once because I couldn't think of anything I wanted to do. But ever since I got into the car scene things changed for me. Before I was this loser kid inside the house playing Call Of Duty all day. I was also a sad person because not many people liked me either. But after adapting to such a cool culture I started to meet a lot of wonderful…

Charlotte cowered beneath the worn sheet, she heard an inhuman sound near the chamber door,—the sudden silence of darkness had rendered it more audible than it had been before. The thing, came nearer and nearer; it grew clearer and clearer. For a time it was still,—and during that time Charlotte doubt if she even drew her breath. She began to move the sheet, slowly-- very, very slowly, so that it might not draw the attention of the beast. She realized the horror in her mistake of trying to glace…

The thing about the different meanings is that they all have a great connection… Reaching a goal. Infants have the unknown goals of walking, talking, and being potty trained; once they have achieved all of those they have succeeded as an infant. As an elementary…

As I clawed and pawed trying to escape my wretched cell, I felt like I had been there forever. The yearning to be free inside me always trying to find a way out, out into the world, but instead I am trapped inside this filthy, flea-ridden cell. As I walk fear grips me everywhere I go, for fear that the Bird will find me. If he does he will beat, kick, and spit on me, but I will stand tall, the hope of freedom strong inside of me. As I sat in my wretched cell, I let my mind roam to the days…

I’ve been here for hours. I can feel their eyes on me, their big gray eyes gazing over every inch of my body. I’ve been pretending to be asleep, waiting for morning, for help, something anything. Wait I think I may be getting ahead of my self here. It all started about two days ago. I collect gummy bears. I have ones in every shape, size, flavor and brand from all over the world. Unfortunately, there are still a couple of brands I have not gotten and one flavor. Normally I go on eBay to look for…

and seeing something so foreign, so disheartening, so uncomfortable, is quite frightening. Some, however, experience this misfortune on a daily basis. I am one of these individuals, and so naturally the thing that would make my world perfect is to change this. I am transgender, and so the only thing that I can envision that would make my world perfect is to be able to both be and be treated as I am inside, as a girl. Ever since I was young I have had instances of not really fitting in to the…

Directing is completely different than leading a crew or blocking in class. I thought that between all of my past experiences I could patchwork this whole ‘directing’ thing together. I was wrong.
