Afraid to Fly
On my eighteenth birthday I decided I was going to permanently place a dove onto my right shoulder. I wanted this to serve as a reminder of not only the inner peace that I strive for, but also (as corny as it sounds) my ability to fly. I felt tied down by those around me. I was ready to make my own mistakes and learn from them. I have since grown in various ways. I expanded my horizon and grew …
Walking In the Street
I wasn’t always like this. In fact, the free spirit that I now have is something I’ve obtained recently. I often wish that I had been born with it, but I suppose the fact that I had to strive to achieve this state of mind only helps me embrace it more. It’s hard to believe that there was a time when I wouldn’t pick up a quarter when it was dropped, due to the fact that I thought …
Counting Calories
Today I found myself craving an apple. I picked out the one that I wanted, took a few bites out of it, walked to the trash can and tossed it. There was nothing wrong with the apple there were no bruises and it hadn’t gone bad. However, this was not the case for my own self. I am the one that is bruised and corrupted.
I tend to blame it on the apple. I think ‘maybe if I don’t e…
Nuzzle with Your Muzzle
In the dictionary, nuzzling is defined as an affectionate thrust of the nose or muzzle. (Nuzzle with your muzzle?) Actually, I don’t really believe the dictionary summed my favorite activity up quite so well. I understand that nuzzling is not typically something humans do. Animals stick to this form of affection simply because most of them have no hands. However, who really wants a g…
Mismatched Socks
In high school I was always looked over… metaphorically and literally. I was shorter which made me less visible in crowded hallways, and I was super quiet which lead to less confrontation and much less unnecessary drama. I was totally fine with not being well known among my peers; it made my already complex life a little simpler. My mother, on the other hand, thought that I should try to sta…
Time Wasted
Sometimes I find myself alone just staring at the wall or zoning off into another life. This is not because I wish to be anyone else. I do this because sometimes it is easier to just escape the life you live just for a little while; long enough to have a few moments of ignorance and peace. Sometimes the world around you can get to your inner core and eat at you. I have had …
SWF Seeks Honest Eyes
In reality I probably would never post an ad like that; or even place one at all. Not only because that method of dating isn’t for me, but because I know I would get responses from a bunch of morons. Actually, that is a perfect example of how picky I am when it comes to dating. Many people confuse how picky I am for a lack of optimism. I’m not going to lie, I haven’t had a successful relation…
