1. 2. 3.Lights blink out like fireflies;One by one they float into the night, Their bright fire dwindles out as they find their place among the stars.He takes them home, leaving their light to shine on forevermore.But here,Down below,Their warmth no longer radiates on,It leaves when the light blinks out its last.And we mourn;We mourn … Continue reading Light Like Fireflies

I think I found my new favorite meal.
Around noon today I started watching Magnolia Table from Joanna Gaines with my mom. In the first episode she makes fatayer with Lebanese salad and baklava. We decided to mix up our meal plan and make it too, and boy it was good! The fatayer is literally just biscuits flattened out and filled with hamburger … Continue reading I think I found my new favorite meal.
Shellfish are Disgusting: Prove Me Wrong
At lunch yesterday my dad walked through our back door into our kitchen and told my mom and I that we'd be having crayfish for dinner the next night.

Sparrows’ Wings
I've never been in love.Not truthfully, at least.Broken heart beats flutter by like Sparrows' wings.Quick and fleeting.Leaving you to reminisce in their wake.Each downward beat of the wings, and pump of the chest hold but weary reminders of lessons learned past.To be in love is a lesson my heart yearns to learn.But books merely spout … Continue reading Sparrows’ Wings
Amongst the Winter Storm
Have you ever noticed that the cold seems to be much more lasting than the heat? I suppose cold is merely the absence of heat. Without heat the cold itself would be non-existent. Then again, nothing exists without its counterpart, so heat couldn't exist without the cold. Heat is one of our most proactive sources … Continue reading Amongst the Winter Storm
The Old Grandfather Clock
At the hour when all seems still in the dusk of night, the sky sits an unwavering sheet of black, blanketing the horizon. And the old grandfather clock chimed midnight. Noise erupted from its bellows, sending forth a shrill sound through the dead night of the old, crickety house. Though none of the residents of … Continue reading The Old Grandfather Clock
Are You Listening?
Are you listening? Not just hearing the single words, the sentences, each-and-every syllable coming out from the person’s mouth. Are you really listening? Listening to the feeling and emotion interlocked with ever crooked glance and smile. Listening to the tears slowly dripping down their cheeks … Continue reading Are You Listening?
The Media Sucks, Change my Mind
Honestly, I hate the news. Literally everything about it. All it does is remind us of all the problems in the world that everyone is already facing. People talk about desensitization to violence and so on, saying video games and TV shows are causing us to find these things normal. But, if anything, one might … Continue reading The Media Sucks, Change my Mind
A Coffee Mug Full of Tears
