    The best part about sunrises:the anticipation of the sun’s arrival over the horizon as it begins to pink the sky and illuminate the darkness. The waiting is the best part. That half-asleep dreamlike state as you wait and feel the breeze kiss your face. When that orange brilliance suddenly cuts though the earth and sky, […]

  • “Science may never know.”

    (The following is written from the point of view of a character I have created named Lydia who suffers from anxiety and depression and uses her self-awareness and humor as a coping mechanism to excuse away her feelings. Though the exact scene is fiction, the feelings are pulled from real experiences.) It feels like a […]

    The following is a part of a 30-day writing challenge, Escapril, started by author Savannah Brown. You used to be a part of me. Living in harmony with the rest of my body, you were as attached to me as I was to you. Diseased. Gangrenous. You threatened to spread your poison to my heart […]

  • A Separation (Escapril #2)

    The following is a part of a 30-day writing challenge Escapril started by author Savannah Brown. (TW: self-harm, loss, gore) They told me I shouldn’t feel a thing like somehow the ‘not feeling’ would make it easier. Fifteen minutes to make 2 halves of one whole. Precision. Speed.

  • “When I opened my eyes…” (Escapril #1)

    The following is a part of a 30-day writing challenge Escapril started by author Savannah Brown. When I opened my eyes I saw her staring back at me, her eyes like cracked sea glass glinting in the light of early morning. A lost little soul belonging to no one but herself. We first met that […]

The president of my university speaks first, welcoming everyone watching at home, congratulating us, the class […]

  • Can you revive a dying dream?

    Can you revive a dying dream?

    April 5th, 2021 A few days ago I received a brochure in the mail from National Geographic. The unexpected surprise crammed into my tiny mailbox gave me a rush at first. The famous yellow rectangle framing a grizzly bear sitting in a field of dandelions on the cover, “Expeditions: Travel Catalog 2021-2022” it read. I […]
