At The End Of The Day

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how many people tuned into your Facebook live video, how many likes your selfie had or how many Twitter followers you have. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how many manicures you have, how much makeup you’re wearing, or if you hadContinue reading “At The End Of The Day”

Oh Father

Honor thy Father and thy Mother, but God didn’t think of you when writing the commandment. Oh, Father. How I prayed for you to call, and how I would cry when there was no messages from you. Oh, Father. I always questioned what I did to make you not love me, and whatContinue reading “Oh Father”

Guilt Manifesto

There are too many I wishes in life. Too many regrets, too much time reflecting on what could be done, and moments where you wish you can do something differently. I should have known this was going to happen. I should have come by, I should have said “I love you more,” I shouldContinue reading “Guilt Manifesto”

The Story of a Relationship

Begin. It was an early crisp fall day. Some say that January 1st is the day of new beginnings. I think that the new school year is a time of tabula rasa. You sat right next to me. One day, you said hi. I wondered if you were always sitting there. Or, were youContinue reading “The Story of a Relationship”

You Don’t Get It

Why aren’t you getting back out there? Why can’t you just get over it? It’s not a big deal — just go on a date. Do you still love him? Everyone seems to have an opinion — it is something they insert in when not wanted. But, they didn’t know. . . TheyContinue reading “You Don’t Get It”

It’s Not THAT Bad To Be Single

“Why are you still single?” Oh, how I hate that question. It goes along with being told “one day you’ll find someone.” I have to bite my tongue to avoid saying “shut the hell up.” I’m glad to know your only accomplishment in life is just being in a relationship. That’s great, but I haveContinue reading “It’s Not THAT Bad To Be Single”

There Is A Time

I truly believe that there is a time for everything. There is a time to radiate in the rays of love’s happiness, and enjoy the fortune of finding someone. There is a time to mourn love’s departure, teardrops staining your cheeks as you say a final goodbye. There is a time for hellos, just asContinue reading “There Is A Time”

Didn’t John Lennon Say Give Peace A Chance?

Inspired by John Lennon’s “Give Peace a Chance.” Everyone seems to be talking about someone. Donald Trump insulting the someone new everyday, Hillary Clinton and her emails, Kim Kardashian, as she tries to maintain her fame, or Caitlyn Jenner. I wonder why we can’t give peace a chance. People seem to seem to beContinue reading “Didn’t John Lennon Say Give Peace A Chance?”

Elton John’s Love Songs

Can you feel the love tonight? I know I was able to, as we drove to the beach on the cold highway in late August. Your song was on the radio It was a slow sad song, about a lonely soul who had no valentines. I guess that’s why sad songs say so much. Continue reading “Elton John’s Love Songs”

In the 1989 Mindset: Inspired By Taylor Swift

I leave you behind for a sign that says “Welcome to New York.” You didn’t want to come with me to my new world, so I had to leave you in Connecticut. I clutch my Starbucks in one hand, and my suitcase in the other, my name is written in Sharpie marker in the blankContinue reading “In the 1989 Mindset: Inspired By Taylor Swift”
