CONQUERING TARHEELS
It’s a few hours before game time. The Evil Empire of the ACC has already descended upon the small village of Clemson. The blue bloods, college basketball royalty: The Tarheels. The invaders have pillaged our small town for the last seven years.

I Confess My Name is not Really Vittoria Speranza
“An honest confession is good for the soul, but bad for the reputation.” – Thomas Dewar I agree that confession is good for the soul. It felt good to start using a nom de plume. However, it feels even better to confess that I’m not who you think I am.

A small life
The insecurities started as a teenager, I was maybe 15 when I realized I was kind of small. Also, it was about the time I started to understand the ridicule and all the jokes about big verses small. For some reason it affected me hard. It might have also been that the first girl I was with, she said I was the smallest she was ever with. It was a horrible feeling and it made me lose myself to video games, It's where I mind my solitude.

All the Questions
Dream on, I was so imaginative, a real-life fantasy, living completely in my head. I was making myself feel it for you, even while being far away from you in the distance measured between us. I could feel all of it, hot and heavy, in my god damn chest. For real.

What I learned battling covid with a severe disability
In November of 2020 I was devastated to learn I had developed diabetes at just 33 years old. Even though it was the beginning of the pandemic my doctor told me I had to be admitted to hospital. I face a few things with fear because I already have a disability called cerebral palsy. Just walking was difficult, painful and very tiring. At this point in my life I was using a walker and had to use personal support workers every morning to shower and get dressed. My life was already very stressful, isolating and depressing. I had few friends, and I never left my apartment.

Writing about writing
It wasn’t the chilly air or endless snow falling outside that made me cold. It was the knowing that for however long, I’d be stuck alone once again in this room, in this bed. Though my circumstance was more than most were blessed with, I selfishly wanted out. Regardless, over the last year and a half I'd been told remaining here would keep me safe, inside. But as time slowly went on, I began to doubt which was worse: isolation or infection.
