Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Thoughts: 4 of 310
It's not the magical fairy tale ending that I imagined. I am not famous. I am not rich. I am in love, but it is not perfect. As a child, I eagerly anticipated the adult life that awaited me. As an adult, I mourn my expired childhood. I live in my memories of my imagined future, The way I expected life to be. I live in my mem... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Secrets: 11 of 136
Post secret garden I have many secrets. Boring human secrets. Un-earth-shattering secrets. Secrets you have to. Not always using a kleenex. Peeing in the shower. 10-second plus quick dust-off rule.

Daily Struggle: Mocking Time What a life, that of clocks, Never a shift in the sound of their thoughts, Ticking and tocking for tardies to hear, Over and over, the grinding of gears. And I trapped within. The ticking may falter, but time it will not, From room into room, and clock into clock, Ticking and tocking its too-stab... More..
Relationships & Family > Online Dating Online dating: Should you agree to meet if they don't have a picture posted?: 6 of 36
Four years ago, following the advice of my stepsister, I posted my very first online relationship profile. I didn't feel comfortable including a photo of myself. I worried that I would be judged for my photo and that my words wouldn't be given the focus I felt they deserved. As someone who values communication, I wanted pote... More..
Relationships & Family > Blended Families Is it possible to have a happy blended family?: 12 of 45
A blended family may be at a disadvantage if we consider how easily the ties could be severed forever. It has us looking for the emergency exit whenever times are tough.
