The waves were glowing in the dark as they broke across the sands My bare feet followed the path through the rustling grass. It grew higher with every step. Pulling at the hem of my dress Aren’t you afraid A voice said Yes. Aren’t you going to turn away A voice said No. There was…

Nah. (An Open Response to Pantheacon’s Open invite to PCon, and my opinions)

Trust
I thought that I had escaped unscathed There were no arguments, no fighting, no raising of voices. It ended how it began…quietly and in the dark. As the rain came down in thick soft dollops that penetrated through our hooded sweat shirts the sharp cold woke me up, refreshed me, cleansed me. It was easy, the…

My first boyfriend doesn’t count because he never “crushed” me… My first was in first grade and he used to stand on the lunch room table and scream “I’m in love with Irene McCalphin” It was utterly embarrassing. Not to mention that he got detention for it every time. I would wait for him after…

When I recount stories from my childhood they cringe and say ooooooommmmmgeeeeeeee seriously dude. They are rather dismayed to find that in certain areas of the United…
How I really feel
I can’t sleep My throat is closing up and it’s because I have been holding back things that I have really wanted to say. A part of me wants to be objective about this thing but I bigger part of me is saying fuck it. I really can’t afford to get sick again So I’m just gonna…
