The sun beats into the motorhome‚ awaking me the morning of June 30th. It was a little brisk in the air conditioned motorhome‚ but that all changed when I stepped outside and was hit with the intense blast of hot dessert air.

Instruments of all sizes laid out in front of me‚ so many choices. My impulsive hands quickly picked up a trumpet. It wasn’t my ideal instrument‚ I preferred the princess look associated with playing the flute‚ but I aspired to achieve the swagger of the high school trumpet jocks above me.

Nothing really exciting‚ but rather 10 days of much needed R & R and adaptation to the weather that went from +15 degrees celsius to -30 degrees. It all started with my last exam‚ which was followed by a dinner with classmates/ friends. Sounds pretty normal and boring‚ right? Well‚ the story has a bit more to it than that... It all goes back to September‚ when I met a guy and went back to my teenage self - meaning that even though I’m

Life is a chess board. You must sacrifice some of your pieces in order to succeed. Many people hate giving up what they love. Their prized possessions. That mindset has hurt me more than it has helped me. When I was in grade five‚ I had a Playstation 3 video game console. I would play it all the time‚ in the morning‚ at night‚ I’d even think about it at school. I wasn’t ready to sacrifice my playing time. Even as the months went by‚ I didn’t stop playing my PS3 console. I was very stubborn. I did

Dawn rushed out of the windows as the startling sunset shone brightly over my tormented body; it blinded me with its immense beams of light. I could hear the endless‚ turbulent clatter of the rain as the wind howled like a pack wolfs .Tears rolled down my smooth‚ nectary‚ and soft cheeks. I struggled to push myself‚ the pain was immense‚ and it blistered throughout my body. I walked aimlessly. Every step I took echoed vigorously throughout the hallway.
