Is it truly possible that one second can last a lifetime? I think so, for in that second, I knew who I was. I had finally, after all these years, found myself.

Reach for the stars? How can I? How can I do anything at all? My heart has been torn out and thrown to the wolves. I don't know how to pick up the pieces and move on with my life.

I looked around the corner before leaving my house. I was afraid. I knew that I shouldn't be but I was. I knew that I wasn't a desired one. I was nothing. But I was still afraid. Hell, I was afraid of everything. If I saw a shadow in the night, I jumped. But, I knew where I was going. I knew what I was doing. I was taking mys... More..

"I think I have the flu," I told the doctor as I sat on the cold, hard table in her office."I don't think so. Your lab results came back positive;" the doctor looked at me. "That means that you are pregnant." The look on her face showed pity. A fifteen year old girl having a child. How would she manage?I sat in shock for a mo... More..

Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Love

I took a walk down the Memory Lane of Love just the other day... Back to the very beginning. Not just the beginning of our relationship.. but back to where we first met. For we did not begin in the normal way. I met my now husband when I was 15 years old. Alone, pregnant, and somewhat scared. He worked with my father. I thoug... More..

As children we learn from our mistakes. A small child spills ice cream down the front of their Sunday best and they learn that it is COLD!

Looking back, his addiction was more than I ever even imagined it could be. What I saw as an embarrassment, something to hide, something to be afraid of.. was more than I could ever have dreamed it was. Until that day.I woke up as if from a haze. Blood was still coming down my face. "Do I stay here? Do I run away? Where is he... More..

As I look back now and see throughout history what my father has done for me, I wonder... Do you ever really know a person? Have I ever truly KNOWN my father? As a little girl I would look up and see him as a superhero. He was my Superman, the strongest, bravest, most courageous man on the planet. My father was my everything.... More..

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Tribute to my daughter

4 of 6

How to choose which child to make a tribute to? Well, in my case, that is absolutely impossible. So, you are going to have to bear with me on this. I will start from the beginning so that you are not too confused *grins*. I was barely fifteen years old. Standing at a party with my older sister, and yes, I was drinking a beer.... More..

41 of 58

I contemplated this article for about five seconds. I searched through the list of topics that I could write on and settled here. I know that I came back to this a few times more than I should have. I wondered, would my big brother really mind if I wrote about him? Then, I thought, sure. There are things he might want to know... More..
