A Perfect Rose pt.ii
This is part two of my short story. If you missed part one you can find it here! It had been a few weeks of being back in the school routine. Ellie’s excitement for the new year was slowly diminishing as the piles of homework and writing assignments that needed to be completed began to pile up on her desk. Through all of the business of life, she had begun to hang out with her friends less and less. She had such high hopes for the year but those quickly began to fade. Every day seemed to be the same, she would wake up go to school, then come home just to have homework pile up that needed to be completed. She would sulk in her room at night, alone in silence. Her thoughts were all that seemed to keep her company these days. She would get the occasional text from a friend with the typical, “Hey! How are you” or “How was your day?” Yet none of these conversations went any deeper, none of them scratched the surface which made her wonder if anyone cared. She didn’t care anymore about the random “hi, (smiley emoji)” texts. What she needed was a phone call and a real conversation that went past just small talk. She wanted someone to know her for who she is and care about every part of her emotions and thoughts.

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.
