I am a female. Sometimes I wonder what that means. Everyone over the course of history has had a different idea. But what if it means absolutely nothing at all? What if “male” and “female” are just pointless titles, something holding us back from just being us?

The police officers tackled her to the ground, firmly holding her arms behind her back and slapping a pair of cold, silver handcuffs on her wrists. Why had she run? Lying there on the ground, it was hard to imagine why they called this justice.

The 4th of July has always been one of my favorite holidays. Lemonade, watermelon, short-shorts, fireworks, the smell of cigarette smoke and carnival rides. The memories are strong and sweet in my mind. I love the 4th of July.

I remember the first night we spent together all alone since we had become “official.” I thought it was the sweetest, most wonderful thing that you didn’t want to just sit inside, even though it was chilly out. So we set off on an adventure. We snuck up onto your rooftop and even with my immense fear of heights, I remember thinking how incredible it felt to just be there, above everything with your arms around me, watching the world go by in perfect solitude.

So many men see girls as an object. Something they can play with, toss around, use, and break. I suppose I shouldn’t be unfair though, girls can be just as bad to boys. We all just need to reevaluate how we treat others.

She rose up from the Earth, as though she had the beautiful, billowing wings of an angel. That was how he made her feel, like an angel. He called her that too, his angel. Angels are a funny thing. We as humans can’t imagine the concept of pure beauty, innocence, and perfection, so we turn it into something tangible in our minds, like an angel.

My past is a mess. Sometimes, I like to hide it. Sometimes, I like to hide from it. Both are useless. What’s there is there and I shouldn’t be ashamed or afraid or sad because of it. It’s made me who I am today. Yes, I have regrets. Few, but still some. But even those make me who I am.

i like to view the cup as half full. not half empty. i also like to share half of my stuff with someone else. why wouldn’t I? isn’t that part of life. my mom taught me that sharing is important. one time I gave my best friend half of my cookie. it was good and we still talk about that time.

I wish I had another piece of furniture that encouraged me to be creative and make more art. Something like a couch but with more soul.

My account with the Lord. How is my account. Have I given him my time today. Have I accounted for my wrongs. Have I given him account of all my blessings. Account it all joy my brethren when you enter into various trials. Keep your account short and stay on a short leash with the Lord.

An ant is a tiny little creature. It moves quickly and carries many times its weight. It loves picnics. Sometimes they bite. There’s big ones and little ones. They seem very involved with their work.

I love the ocean. I used to live in Bellingham where I could drive less than five minutes and see beautiful ocean waters. There’s something about the oceans that calms me. Now when we drive to the ocean, I take one look at it and immediately feel like I’m at home.

Something you want but didn’t get. An opportunity. Only one time in your life. Now. Make decisions. Choose for once in your life what you want for you. Always lived for someone else. Now, I can live for myself. I want different things.

attached to a truck, a place to live. I hated driving truck, yet I loved being on the open road. I hated living in that tiny place with that man, in his home, not mine. But more than than, I hated how hard it was. Yes I’m lazy, but it just wasn’t for me.

I made a sandwich today. It was for my husband. He always eats sandwiches. I always make them for him. I am tired of making them for him. He keeps me happy though. I should not complain. I hope we he comes home he doesn’t want a sandwich.

my spine often hurts, i can feel my baby’s spine when i rub his back and i wonder if this is normal. spine is such a strange word, always makes me think of mountains. who decided to call it a spine anyway? the epidural really hurt when it went in and since i had it i’ve been getting weird back aches.
