Books are easier to read than people.Words on a page hold more merit than expressions on a face.Lines and stanzas and paragraphs.They have form, linking together to form coherent memories. But people- they make no logical sense.Their decisions are fueled by hidden motives.Their faces pose as masks, the closest contender to showing their true expression.Mouths … Continue reading Books Are Easier to Read Than People

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.

Are You Listening?

But, if anything, one might … Continue reading The Media Sucks, Change my Mind
Me vs. the World
Growing up, I've always been told to hold compassion for others, and be there for them in their time of need. But, on the other hand, I'm also consistently told to not let others walk all over me. It's a conflicting thing because in this world when you show compassion you're automatically seen as someone … Continue reading Me vs. the World
The Epic Battle: Nature vs Nurture
So a little while ago in AP Lang we talked about an article we had to read on what makes a serial killer. It talked about how genetics effect these people's personalities and mentalities, which, in turn, impacts their outward actions. And it sort of got me thinking about a topic that absolutely fascinates me: … Continue reading The Epic Battle: Nature vs Nurture

The Game of Life
In the 21st century we're in a constant race to stay ahead. We have to stay caught up on the latest trends, know the latest news, keep up with where Sarah went for Spring break, and the race continues. When we aren't ahead of the race, we're the ones who can't keep up in conversations, … Continue reading The Game of Life
