My Grandmother was a very devout Catholic. She prayed every morning and every night‚ she attended Mass regularly‚ avoided sin‚ and followed the Church’s teachings as best she could. She devoted her whole life to God and to her community. Her faith was passed down to my Mother but‚ to their dismay‚ it was not passed down to me.

I believe in change. Not changing who you are on the outside or fixing who you are on the inside; but changing to be the best version of yourself. Living up the your own expectations to be the best and only person you could imagine yourself being. About 5 years ago‚ I realized I wasn’t the person I wanted to be. I would gaze at myself and just stare at that little fat girl staring back at me. No one ever knew I thought or felt this way. If I ever called myself ugly or fat I would be lectured about

Do you believe in the paranormal? That question is important here‚ as some parts in this story get a tad bit dark and explore a world that a lot of people dismiss as mere superstition. I aim to tell some brief stories and describe some of the things that happened when we were in the woods and when we were out of them. I saw and heard a lot of things I can’t quite understand and I’ve always wanted to put this stuff out there somehow‚ I figured this may be one of my best chances. Before I can get into

I believe in Heartbreak. I fell in love with an amazing girl. Granted I’m only 18 years old and most people doubted the maturity and promise behind my so called “love”. People told me that my youthfulness and raging hormones must have been confusing lust for love‚ that it’s natural at such a young age to mistaken the two. I’m sorry‚ but I had to disagree.
