The Art of Logging Out
Since leaving home at 18, I always believed that finding my purpose in life involved a job title. As I slide past the half-mark of my twenties I have realized that a sense of purpose is not something I will find in a job description. I have been taking some time recently to understand what I need on a spiritual level. I have spent many hours engulfed in books filled with every religious concept known to man.

The Girl in the Dream
I hated what I turned into when I fell asleep. I looked down at my hands, trembling still. Last night had to be one of my rougher nights.

I guess that is why after the festival was over I found myself walking towards the temple he lived in. I pushed through the crowd of people hoping to make it to the temple doors before he did.

The Strength of Her
"Mom and daughters fight." is a phrase that has been ingrained into my head since the moment my mom spoke it to me almost ten years ago in one of the many fights we had when I was in high school. I remember little more from that argument than that phrase and the anger that surged through my body the second the words left her lips. This is not normal. I was so mad that our relationship wasn't a normal one. All of the rest of my female friends' relationships with their mothers seemed to be a lot more traditional. They were able to have conversations with their mother that didn't lead to arguments. It seemed that no matter how well I did in school or how hard I tried in sports I never felt good enough for my mother. The arguments continued throughout high school.
