I Watched My Friend Total Their Car In Front Of Me
It happened on the night of Prom, during my junior year of high school. In the beginning, everything seemed magical. It was the perfect night with the most beautiful people all around. My friends and I spent precious time getting our hair and makeup done, taking thousands of pictures afterward.

The Musician in Me
Many moons ago I decided that I wanted to play the violin. I was 11 and in 6th grade at the time. As expected, I struggled as a beginner, but I loved playing.

I'm A Survivor Of Unresolved Trauma And I'm Here To Share My Story With You
When I was a freshman in high school, all the girls in their ninth-grade gym classes were taught self-defense should they ever come in contact with a predator one day. I was informed that one in four girls are sexually abused or raped by the age of eighteen. Back then I knew deep down in my heart that one day I'd be that one put of four girls. I was right. I hate being right.

Breathing at Last
Rain smelling of sweet nectar, fresh - pure of earth's evil sins. Abstract colors tasted of flowers and fire melting in your mouth.
