A Perfect Rose
Once upon a time, how every perfect story has begun for centuries. This takes you back to the story's beginning, letting you get a glimpse into the past, to show you why things end up as they do. The story travels through many ups and downs but ends with the happy ever after everyone has come to expect. There is no surprise, each story always follows the same pattern, of ups and downs until finally arriving at the happily ever after. This story, however, isn’t once upon a time it is happening now, it could happen tomorrow or maybe it did already happen. It’s a part of your life and becomes a part of your story. There is no happy ever after, no perfect prince or princess, and no lovers holding hands riding off into the beautiful sunset, there never is. It’s just a fantasy created to tell a good story to keep the listener’s attention. This is real life, your life, a life where dreams don’t come true and darkness rises and takes even the best of us. Unfortunately, this story is more real than you are willing to admit.

Bad Day
I always wonder why bad things happen to me. I'm not a bad person. I try to put others first and be kind and loving to everyone. Yet it seems bad things still happen all the time. What about karma? Isn't that supposed to be a thing that helps us in life? How come I am not getting back what I put into the universe? I try to be good and kind all the time. If I work hard and do good things then shouldn't the universe reward me for all those things I have done? Why doesn't this world work how I demand it to work? Am I not doing enough?

Obsessed With Flowers
Roses as Humans I love metaphors as a way to show what I'm thinking. I struggle to put words in my mouth but find my voice when writing my thoughts down. I struggle to speak but I thrive when I write. Roses as Humans is what has become my identity. We are all broken and in pieces, there's a thorn in our flesh. But despite these flaws and failures we were made beautifully and we are all beautiful.

The Artist
It was a calm sorta day in the art district that lay in the downtown of the city. Everyone was out in the streets and the sound of chatter danced in the air. The sun was up finally sparkling in the sky after a long gloomy winter and a gentle breeze floated through the air. The smell of fresh paint was floating around the streets and drifting slowly into people's minds. It was the perfect calm in the storm of life. A needed break when everything in life feels like it's in absolute turmoil. A calm that wouldn't last but is a much-needed break.
