crushing pressure and dark‚ dank air felt like my only company. I was dying‚ or so every part of my being was telling me. The immense‚ clutching pains radiating from my chest to my jaw could be only one thing… a heart attack. I lay there silently‚ overwhelmed with crippling fear and panic; frozen‚ immobile‚ waiting for what my mind had deemed inevitable. Wait…the pain was beginning to ease. The powerful clutch of dread freezing me was beginning to weaken. My mind flooded with hope. I’m going to be okay

The article “Why the funniest people are sometimes the saddest” written by Jim Norton explores Robin William’s incident in the wrong direction. There’s no doubt that hearing that a comedian like Robin Williams took his own life causes a stir. It’s paradoxical. A man who can make others laugh isn’t happy himself. Although‚ saying that comedians tend to be sad gives sense of humor a dark image and this is not true. Indeed‚ people who are funny are hypersensitive observers of the world. Since they can

irrationally. My friends would always do things with spontaneity while I would get left behind sitting alone shrouded by my fear. As life gradually moved on‚ I grew to overcome my fears and not overanalyze situations with the help of a few moments in my life. One event I remember with startling clarity was when I was seven. Like many children‚ my brother and cousins loved to ride roller coasters and enjoyed the thrill that accompanied it. However‚ I never relished the execrable feeling of my

won’t come‚ my heart pounding. I don’t know what time it is and for a minute I don’t know where I am‚ I’m still trapped in whatever hellscape I was in. It takes me another minute to realise that I am home in my bed‚ and another minute to calm my racing heart and even out my breathing. In and out‚ in and out‚ over and over again until I’ve calmed down. At this point I’m too exhausted to go to find my parents so I settle for trying to sleep‚ even though exhaustion claws at the back of my throat I can’t

that my parents would handle anything. I was the youngest in the family‚ the “porcelain doll” that no one could touch. I was doing things not because I wanted to but because I felt I needed too. Part of my struggle was that I believed that my thoughts and ideas were too fragile for the harshness of the world and refused to let them see the light of day. Everyone around me was evolving; they were finding the thing that made them “them”. My sister had law school‚ my cousin had music and all my friends

But sometimes‚ childhood can be difficult‚ when children become sick. In these cases‚ I think‚ that having a dream is even more important‚ because it makes life more colorful‚ gives hope and motivates them to overcome their illness. I remember when I was 5 years old I got a little sick - running nose and sore

Like many before me one of my most defining moments came from my high school days when I was still attempting to find a balance between getting good grades and maintaining a social life. During that time‚ I was just entering a period where I had dealt with bullying without standing up for myself in school. As a result‚ I entered high school somewhat embittered but also made it intentionally difficult for others to get close to me since many of the people I had once held close to me had turned on

The hands that I look down upon can’t be mine‚ why because they’re covered in blood. But they must be‚ I also taste the blood on my lips every time I breathe. I can’t feel my face‚ all I feel is the adrenaline rushing through me. The blood‚ the adrenaline‚ and the metallic taste‚ all mixed together is too much. I start running to my mom. I can’t yell because if I do the blood will get in and the taste will remind me of how hurt I am. How could such a childhood experience end in blood and a broken

My memory may have failed me that day‚ but I knew I was going to get into the house one way or another. I had seen dozens of movies where people got into their house without a trace so my twelve year old brain thought I could pull off the same stunts as a million dollar movie. In my mind I had planned out the best idea for a break in and ended up with a sliced up a finger dipped in hydrogen peroxide‚ having to wrap plastic all over the windows so snow wouldn’t get in and overall forgetting my phone
