fields77:“She let go.
She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go. She let go of the fear. She let go of the judgments. She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head. She let go of the committee of indecision within her. She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons. Wholly…

Choosing North Carolina
I was brought to this state reluctantly. kicking and screaming inside of my innocent child’s mind. i didn’t want to leave my extended family,what i previously considered to be home and everything i had ever known. longleaf pine trees have a very strange look to a 5 year old who has only seen oaks and elms. i cried a lot and laid in bed wishing my new life was a dream and that i’d...

due to circumstances i have a cousin who i sometimes only see every few years. at one point we didn’t see each other for 9 years. but we were raised by sisters and that is something that time doesn’t impact. we live different lifestyles, are separated by age, he is adopted and for so many other reasons that fall amid that spectrum there could be awkward moments of silence or getting...

These are the people I spent 9/11 with, watching the live coverage, witnessing the events take place. Hearing bush’s words. Grieving the shock and loss for those directly impacted. Taking in things we had never before seen or experienced. Our sense of patriotism filled...
Advice from a friend
“You should write letters to everyone you love”
Excerpt from a letter
Someone once told me that you have to allow people to love you the best way they know how and that may not always be the exact way you would do things but it’s a matter of accepting that someone is giving you the best they have.
