Alone
I moved into my first apartment a couple of months ago. Nineteen years old and ready to be out of the house, I found a little apartment 5 minutes away from my parent's and made it my home, along with 2 other roommates. With a crappy AC system, a washer and dryer that needs repairs, and tap water that is so undrinkable we either get bottled water or use a water filter.... it was perfect. I felt more than ready to have my own place.

Not an Introduction
I know what it’s like. Sitting in class waiting for the teacher to call your name so you can validate your presence even though, in that moment, you’re really wishing you weren’t present. You’ve cleared your throat a hundred times with hopes your voice doesn’t crack at the sound of your name being called, you start to sweat. The class list is in alphabetical order, so one could prepare themselves ahead of time for the dreaded “here”. Unfortunately for me, my name was always followed by catty little giggles from the sidelines. Yes, I was the shy awkward girl that never wanted the spotlight.

MOMMA FOREVER
With COVID-19 causing widespread school closures, children across the country are being given alternate resources, some online, to study outside of the classroom. Temporary solutions being devised for remote education range from online classroom tools like Google Classroom, to Zoom and podcasts by teachers.

Like mother, like...
Mom, To be honest, most times, I hate you. Surprisingly, that was the easiest thing to write. Because of you, I have locked away most of my childhood memories in a very dark place. There is nothing that I can dig up and say “Wow, so glad to remember this!”... It’s actually the opposite. You were never around anyway so it doesn’t really matter - that’s fine. You not being around made me popular anyway. My house was the free, fun house. We could have done whatever we wanted; made me cool, I guess.
