Spectrophobia
I try to avoid mirrors, or my reflection to be more accurate, at all costs. It's just not for me and I don't quite understand why others spend hours looking into one, what do they see that I don't? Do they see the afterlife? A world unbeknownst to me? A world that I am forever forbidden to lay my eyes on or ever step foot in? It could be nothing. They could just be looking at narcissism himself, but how should I know? I don't see a damn thing. To be honest, I haven't looked in a mirror in ages, I've forgotten what I don't see. Maybe if I look, just once, I'll be able to see? No! I can't! Wait, what is this pain in my hand?

Dear Me
Dear Me, I know right now feels like hell. I know pretty much all the time feels like hell. I know that you're in pain; you're in so much pain that you are willing to die just to make it stop. I know that you're constantly choking down a sea of tears, because God forbid you let anyone else see the storm that dwells inside. I also know that sometimes will seem that the war isn't worth it anymore, because all you ever win are scars and more pain, and the monsters you fight against will win everything; your dignity, your energy, your time, your will to live.

My Word
The English language is made up of various other languages and cultures to make up the words we use on a every day basis. There is a word for almost everything you feel, hear, taste, and see. For example, there's a word for the sound the wind makes as it passes through the trees: "psithurism." This word is taken from the Ancient Greek word "psithurismos" meaning "I whisper." The feeling of pleasure and contentment can be defined as happiness, in which the root word "hap" can be taken from the Old French root word "heur" and the German word "Gluck," both meaning good fortune and happiness. The list of words goes on and on, but there is one word, one definition, that I have yet to find—my word.
