A Fall with a Canoe Happened Twice
No One Remembers It That Way challenge - The Prompt: Write about a memory that you and someone else remember completely differently. You remember exactly what happened. Unfortunately, so does someone else, and their version is nothing like yours. For this challenge, revisit a memory you share with another person and explore the places where your stories don't match. Maybe you disagree about who said what, how something started, whether it was hilarious or humiliating, or even whether it happened the way you remember at all. The differences can be tiny, or they can change the entire story. Dig into both versions and what might be hiding in the space between them. Memory is a funny thing, and sometimes the disagreement tells you more than getting the facts straight ever could.

Browsing the Craigslist Missed Connections
“It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.” ― Andre Gide Sometimes I browse the Craigslist missed connections section to see if someone out there saw me, found me incredibly attractive, and thought about me so much they had to go online and see if they could locate me. I held importance in that person’s life, however brief it may have been, and they took the unlikely chance to meet me. For a moment in time, I was wanted.

5 Things Driving Me Crazy After 15 Years of Marriage
According to Google, "the traditional symbol and gift for a 15th wedding anniversary is a crystal which represents clarity, transparency, and a brilliant, strong bond built with care over time".
