Wildfire
“Spread love like wildfire is probably one of the cheesiest lines I’ve ever heard. Wildfires are dangerous. Love is not. Why would anyone want to compare love to a wildfire?” Hannah sat back in her chair and primly folded her hands in her lap. I squinted my eyes at her and wondered what her life…

Spinning
The sun spins around me as I try to make it through another day. I knew Eddie wouldn’t wait through another day of me daydreaming about what our life could be, but I knew this wasn’t my life. The constant emails and meetings were driving me insane for eight hours a day. Eddie was a workaholic where I didn’t think about work the moment I stepped out of the staff door…

If I Loved You Less
“If I loved you less, maybe this would be easier. If I loved you less, I could walk right out the door and never look back. If I loved you less, I could be exactly who I wanted to be.” I looked at the letter I was writing to Jared and crumpled it. I knew…

“I’m ready to tone down my wardrobe,” I said out loud as I stared at my overstuffed closet.

“He wouldn’t look back at you. I think that means something. What happened between the two of you? You used to be so close.” Chad watched James walk away and I began to wonder the same thing. I wasn’t entirely sure what had happened between James and I, but here we were. He was walking away and…

Swinging
“You are a coward. A bloody, screaming coward,” I could barely control my voice or my anger. Taylor started to walk toward me, but I put both of my hands up to stop him. “I can’t even believe your nerve.” As I turned and walked away, my body was still vibrating with anger. Taylor had betrayed…

Love Letters
I knew what letters I wanted to send and what letters I never should have sent. The ones I never should have loved and the ones I should have loved harder. Hugged longer. Laughed louder. I wanted to find my way with you by my side. I wanted to let them know how much I cared. But…
