A Day to Remember
When I was a kid, I wanted to be many things. Still to this day as an adult, I'm constantly discovering new passions. One thing that has always remained constant, however, was my love for words. For story-telling. I read as often as I could, getting lost in fantasy worlds, feeling feelings that I only discovered for the first time through books. It was my escape. I remember a school project that was given in honor of Remembrance Day. There were guidelines to be followed, specific words to use or avoid. I wrote a poem. When it started, it was just a homework assignment. But by the end it became something I was tremendously proud of. It even made my mother cry. 3 pages long, front and back. The words I had left on the page, the way they flowed and told a heart-breaking but honest story, it made me feel more accomplished than I ever had so far, at 10 years old. I had far passed the requirements of the homework assignment, and far passed the writing level of a 10 year old. I had written poems and short stories before of course, but nothing of depth or real meaning. Nothing that meant more to me than this. I dreaded having to hand it in to my teacher the next day.

Cig For Your Thoughts?
"How are you feeling?" Jade asked me. She had offered to take me as she knew I couldn't ask just anyone, least of all my mother. "Oh, I'm okay. It's the right choice." I reassured her as I turned back to look out the window, lighting my 3rd cigarette since we started the drive to the clinic. I'm lying of course. On the inside I'm devastated and feel so sick to my stomach, it's like someone is punching me in the gut over and over again. But I knew the second I expressed how I was really feeling, that's when I'd completely lose it, and start second-guessing the decision I was positive was the only one I should be making.

Life...am I Right?
Life is interesting and mysterious. Often times I find myself questioning the reality of it. Is this really how things are happening? Am I really here? Is this nothing but a very vivid dream? Think about what we know about dreams. Not very often do we have control over our dreams. Unsure of what is about to happen. The ending never really known. Life is quite similar in that respect. Sometimes in our everyday lives things happen that seem impossible, miraculous, or unreal. Again, quite similar to dreams. So how are we truly able to know, if the life we are living; our current present. Is something we are actually experiencing?
