  • It’s not about me. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.

    It’s not about me. It’s not about me. It’s not about me. I keep telling myself that, but it doesn’t make this any easier. Things are changing too fast. In the past four weeks My grandmother died. My parents who live with my grandmother now have to decide what to do. And what to do…

  • Don’t phone it in

    Change is everywhere. I see it and I feel it within. I look in the mirror and I see a stronger, leaner, toned version of myself. It reminds me of marathon training except somehow … better. I know now why triathletes love the sport. I don’t even care about race day; I’m loving the training…

  • I hate change.

    When I was a sophomore in high school I had it all. Great friends that I had grown up in the town I’d lived in since I was 3, a great social life that included hanging out with BFF Amy literally every day, and great times in the neighborhood with more friends and family. Then…

  • The moment after all goes dark

    Never did the street lights seem so far apart as they did when she would run between them fast on the first set, slow on the second that perfect moment between day and night It is impossible to cling to both sides but if she selects one, she admits the other is not right. So…
