Kristen wrote about the word woven 2 years, 2 months ago
I’m not even sure how it happened. It’s just like, one day I was on my own, doing my own thing and the next thing I knew she was everything that I thought about. She was it for me. I thought about her in everything I did. Would she approve? What would she be thinking [...]

Kristen wrote about the word: understood 2 years, 6 months ago
He understood. He understood my reluctance to life, and to him. He got that I didn’t want to do certain things, and that those things were just too old, and too mature for me. He understood that he just had to wait and not pressure me. I can’t thank him enough for that. I’ve had [...]

Kristen commented on the blog post killed 2 years, 6 months ago
His imagination was killed. Everything that had once motivated, and inspired was gone for all eternity into the abyss of what might how been. It was a shame, really, watching as he slowly realized how much he had lost in his ongoing fight to keep everything he had just the way it was now. I [...]

Kristen commented on the blog post cowboy 2 years, 6 months ago
He honestly believed he was a cowboy. He bought the hat, the shoes, the spurs. He bought it all. His dreams consisted of riding his horse into the sunset, and daydreaming showdowns with his arch nemesis, Mandarin Magic. Stupid name by the way. He even admits it. But it’s what his overly conscious mind told [...]

Kristen wrote about the word saved 2 years, 9 months ago
I never thought I would ever have to be saved. I was supposed to be the one saving, the one who people looked up to to always be there for them, and never think about anything but that. I wasn’t supposed to ask for help, or get into trouble, or so anything where I would [...]

She picked up the sponge, squeezing it to get the excess water out. With a sigh, she scrubbed away at the floor removing all the evidence of the previous night. She tried pretending that this would be the last time, that she would never has to do this again. The substance stuck to the tile [...]

SIghing, she set the kettle back on the stove as she has done every night since she met him. Never before had she ever had to use the piece of crap her mother had given her so many years ago, hoping she’d grow up. Now, because of him, she used it every night. Every freakin’ [...]

It was one of her favorite memories. It was just her and her best friend, playing on the driveway creating there own little world through chalk, and laughter, and pretending.

Kristen wrote about the word mission 2 years, 9 months ago
“Mission accomplished,” she said, brushing off the dirt from the ground. She took her newly finished work into view. The walls that were once a blank slate of brick, was now a vibrant canvas of colors. Her art, displayed for the world– well, community– to see. Every stroke, every splatter, part of her life story.

Kristen wrote about the word escape 2 years, 9 months ago
All he wanted to do was escape. Just pack up and leave for a while. Whether it was for ten minutes, or ten years, he didn’t know. He didn’t care either. He wanted to go to the place where he was himself, and could do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. It was necessary with [...]

Kristen wrote about the word cross 2 years, 9 months ago
I sat in the treehouse with my best friend. We stared out into the abyss that was once our suburban playground. Years ago, this was where we were pirates, and mommies and daddies, andbikers, and skateboarders, artists and adventurists. It looked like an old photograph, forever preserved inour minds like it would in a museum– [...]

MIles went down to the bar. It was his fifth time in the past two weeks. He looked to the bartender, a solemn look on his face, and simply said the words he’s grown so used to saying.
“Hit me, and keep ‘em comin’.
