On Being Lucky. Content Warning.
He was killed in front of me but the waiting at the hospital was the worst. Maybe it’s me but it all feels like lifetimes ago. I always thought that we would make it, I guess not. Being the only one to get out hurts. He was the first person I knew to die from gun violence. He wasn’t the last either. It changes you. Losing someone always does but it changes you more when it comes from such violence. At his funeral I think I died a little bit inside. He always knew what to do. I never knew what to do. I still do not know what to do. One day he was gone and I never really moved on.

White Noise . Content Warning.
If my mind were a room, I imagine a circular, wooden structure with green vines drooping the walls, and dangling from the ceiling. Oversized windows would allow the raw sunlight to brighten the room. The only furniture would be a large, low bed, grand desk, and an unnecessarily large chair simply for reading on. Majority of the wall space will be covered by vast bookshelves, stacked with a variety of classic and contemporary literature. Several tapestries would also drape the walls, offering the room a sense of comfort. Multiple pillows would scatter the floor, though in an orderly fashion. The room would be illuminated and airy by day, but dark and desolate by night - with only the moonlight offering brightness. However, beyond all this would be a black, ancient door; feared to be opened.
