I have to say Aids is the worst and horrific killers I have witnessed in life. Ron came to stay with me in his last year of life. I watched him suffer‚ cry and fear death‚ regretful and unknowingly spread this deadly disease to several married men. Staying up until two and three even four in the morning‚ while he told me of his experiences in life and as a child and growing up and what happen to Keith. The molestation‚ how and where it took place and who did it. The reason he disappeared for ten

I remember being a very sassy‚ rebellious‚ careless‚ and pot-headed fifteen year old girl‚ who had the external facade that “I do not care about other people’s opinions of me‚ if they don’t like me they can go fuck themselves.” However‚ internally I wanted to cry when people did not like me and ask why are people so judgmental? As if I would get the answer to this question‚ but at that time‚ I had given up on living up to people’s expectations such as my parents‚ teachers‚ and friends because people

Madly in love with a nickel in my hand‚ it reflected light like a shining star before 6 o’clock in the morning. To me‚ the nickel represented the joy of hope. As I began to walk home‚ beside the slimy lake‚ there was a log with six or seven toads. They were the largest toads I had ever seen. I came to take a closer look. I noticed the spotted white and blue pattern on their backs‚ which probably meant that they are venomous. And although I always carry a switchblade with me‚ like a swarm of swifty

In my English 102 class‚ my professor inquired us to write a story concerning Halloween. When being asked this question‚ a story popped into my head about the time Halloween was ruined for me. Halloween has always been my favorite holiday when I think back to my childhood. Halloween makes me think of a lot of great memories‚ hayrides‚ trick-or-treating‚ and dressing up. As a child‚ I loved the feeling of being able to dress up and get candy‚ but that has been distorted. As a child‚ I have always

Creativity continues to be a difficult word for me to define succinctly. Yet throughout my journey of self-reflection and self-realization‚ incited by Dr. Johnson’s course‚ Leadership & Innovation‚ I notice that I am doggedly pursuing mastery of the creative energy within me. In this pursuit‚ I have learned that truly embracing and knowing and utilizing my own creativity requires a fearlessness‚ free of self-conscious worry and self-judgment.

“To those who fought and won and those who lost‚ To those who are a still fighting and our valiant allies” “I...uh have a condition called trichotillomania” I had no idea what trichotillomania was but it sounded pretty fucking serious. Devon‚ Sorry‚ I really am. I know this is hard and you will be disappointed in me but please know there is nothing that could’ve been done to save me. I was far too broken to be fixed. I fought for a long time‚ I fought for 34 years‚ beautiful years

The bright blue background and High Mountain tops over 10 feet taller than me standing at 5’8’’. The slightly chilly breeze that lightly brushes my skin leaving small goose bumps throughout the surface of my whole body. The sound of the waterfall and view of the lake so translucent I can see the yellow fish all the way to the bottom. The trees singing in the background mimicking the echo of the water. The dirt soft and warm in-between my fingers from the pulsating raises of the sun. The rays drift

I always knew this notion existed. I always tried to ignore it. Whenever someone in my social circle made an intolerant remark‚ I would force myself to calm down reaffirming myself that it’s their ignorance talking‚ that they are just being immature or that they do not understand how pernicious their statements are. Those brief aggressions‚ that resentful mindset‚ I came to a point in which I couldn’t take it anymore. I could not just dismiss it again. At some point‚ I realized I was sick and tired

I couldn’t believe what had happened to it‚ I was so mad. It was one of my favorite toys of all time and to see it in its condition made me sad. My dad used to be a P.E. teacher. One day he brought a bunch of his sports equipment home in a big blue bag. My sisters and I loved it when he brought his sports equipment home because we would always play with the tennis rackets‚ footballs‚ and everything else inside of the bag. There was a really nice red ball in the bag. It looked like a medium sized
