  • Chantelle wrote about the word held 2 years ago

    She held her newborn baby in her arms and wondered how the world could be so full of hate. How could countries be blood-stricken by war when such beautiful miracles were possible? For the first time in her life, the woman felt hope. Hope in the form of a boy, with tiny hands, tiny feet, [...]

    When I was a child, you were my friend.
    A fat little oval drawn floating past in my puffy-clouded, sun-in-the-corner-of-the-page blue sky, drawing you was a pleasure, with your dotted-line curving trail following lazily behind you.

    I’m going to go out on a whim here and say I love you. I love every little thing about you, and I love the imperfections that you carry around with you. Is it too cheesy to say that I feel like you complete me? Yes? Too bad. You do.

    The sound of the cannon reminded me of why I was here. I stepped slowly onto the platform and looked at the people below me. They had no idea of what would go on later today, and I prayed that most of them never would. This wasn’t something was particularly proud of, it wasn’t exactly [...]
