And they break the ice…

You had beasts but so did I. Yours dwelled under the thin sheet of ice covering that solemn body, broken by the slightest of winds carrying the largest of waves. They lay so deep down; their scaly bellies flushed against the ocean floor so as to not be seen when the ice breaks. Because when…

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall…

Mirror, mirror on the wall, why aren't I the fairest of them all? Looking in the mirror, everything you wish you were blind to seems to pop out more than it should; the red pimples scattered along your hairline, the long scar stretching down your right shoulder, your nose veers slightly to one side, and…

Rain and Relaxation

The other day, as I sat in an empty house, worrying about the future and what it would bring me, the soft pitter patter of rain broke me from my reverie. I glanced outside, the rain was starting to come down harder: The pit pat gradually becoming thud, splat, pit, thud. I dropped my phone at the table, barely taking notice…

James Rhodes: An Inspiration

As my digital clock ticked away, green digits flicking past as the darkness in my room became more complete and the only visible thing was the bright glare from my small phone screen, I clicked on another video.

The problem with that…

You Are Worth It.

Read the title again, and tell me this: Do you believe it? I can tell you that I'm sure many of you said no. I'm here to prove you wrong. Let's start with a story... Once upon a time, there was a girl. This was no ordinary girl, however. This girl was a fighter. Her…

I Believe… But Do You?

Today, I'm going to answer a question all of you have probably asked yourselves over and over (and if you're like me, probably more often than humanly possible). It's a question, or rather a story humans have been wondering about since the dawn of their existence. And that story, is the myth of creation. Now, I'm not about…

To Those Social Justice Warriors…

Are you someone who feels strongly about things that flaunt our lives as a new and young generation? Do you find yourself frequenting LGBTQ+ pages on various social medias, or reading articles on equality in your spare time? Or maybe you're the exact opposite — someone who disagrees with it entirely? Well, if so, you might…
