Bio
I want to explore the world of writing. I love to draw, and I want to challenge myself to draw what I write. I have always had a passion for both. I am hoping to at least learn, engage, find mentors, and more inspiration from this platform.

A Guardian Angel on Earth
Dear Gma, It is still surreal, even though it’s coming up on 12years since the last time I was able to hear your voice and hug you tight. Every time someone mentions that I give “the best hugs”, you are the very first person that I think of, because you were such a hugger, a hug from you was the definition of comfort. Anything that reminds me of you haunts me emotionally because of the pain I still feel knowing you’re gone, but then a peaceful feeling sets in quickly because you have always been my peace, my safe place. I remember you as a caring person, a loving person, a goofball, so smart, and non-judgmental. You taught me to see people as people, and that everyone has unique qualities about them, because of you I was color blind, size blind, deformity blind, I literally saw people as people and I was kind to everyone, and I learned to love so hard because of you. I would be such an emotional mess, and you would snap me out of it, just by simply being you. You would listen to me and give advice and a different perspective on life. When you gained your wings, I was lost in my darkness, I didn't have you to guide me through it like always. You were my guardian angel here on earth, and I never knew you were in so much pain yourself. You even tried to keep me safe from knowing that, as much as you could anyways. You never wanted me to be sad. You knew I needed you, I know you still know that I still need you. I appreciate the signs you send from time to time.

The sweetest gift
"Wake up!" rang through my ears as I was shaken awake. My eyes slowly opened, dreading who I would see through those skinny silver bars. The blurry blob came into focus, that ugly, greasy face with those piercing black and soulless eyes. "It's time to deliver this message! Get up! Get up!" he yelled at me as he unlatched my door. The second I stepped out, he was shoving the letter into my satchel. "Take this to Assassin 5436, he will be waiting on the peak of the mountain." He shoved me out, slamming the door behind me. The air felt crisp and smelled fresh, it was cloudy yet I could still gaze upon the stars as I journeyed towards the mountain peak. The wind always made me feel free, even if it was just for that moment, and the moon peeked through the clouds ever so slightly. Hypnotized by the glow from the moon, I lost focus of what was in my path. I crashed right into a pine tree, spiraling towards the ground, hitting branches as I plummeted, SNAP! In excruciating pain, I passed out before I hit the ground.
