I knew exactly how to reconnect with my life.  The first thing I needed to do was to sit outside and soak up the sun.  Living in a small apartment with my mom sometimes made this hard.  She was naturally not an outdoors person.  At all.  She went from the apartment to the car to…

 “Her biggest mistake was forgetting herself along the way,” I wrote in my journal.  I glanced toward my door as I heard the wood floors in the hall squeak.  I knew my mother was always suspicious of closed doors and would often barge in unannounced.  And I knew she would not like the fact I had a journal.  I…

“You’re never going to find love if you keep wearing clothes like that,” my mother huffed as she walked by.  I looked down at my clothes and sighed.  Last week this same outfit had been  approved by both my mother and stepfather.  Their constant battle with the church meant that there was a constant battle with their faith.  If they were…

I was overwhelmed and scared as hell.  I didn’t really know what I was doing and I wasn’t really sure how I got here.  I wanted to get out of my old life because I was getting too comfortable, but now that I was about to start my new life, I was a little unsure.  I was starting my…

I learned about spirituality from my mother when I was still in elementary school.  I latched onto the spirituality and I think it was partially because no one else was into it.  I have always thought religion was an interesting subject and was willing to debate with almost anyone, but I also hated the ‘rules’ that sometimes went along with…

“You did this before, you can do it again,” I repeated to myself.  I was almost to the end and I was just about to cry.  If I did not finish this race in first place, I would not be allowed out of my room for two weeks unless it was to go to school, practice…

Eleanor was the most insecure one of our group of friends.  Her insecurity was a fact not many realized because they always saw her as the beautiful, smart and successful lawyer and many didn’t think to ask anything about her personal life.  Eleanor had the most ‘extra’ appointments in her book partially because her coworkers often asked…

The coldest place I have ever been was my father’s apartment.  All the walls were white and all the furniture was black.  Once he had moved out of our family home and into his own apartment, I knew he was looking to start over.  He left our comfortable style and house for an entirely new modern look.  He didn’t even have any pictures or artwork on his wall. …
