For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.

Painting to Breathe, Humming to Sleep
"I don't know," she said as she looked down to tie her shoes. He looked at her intently trying to understand exactly what was going on in her head. He puts his shirt back on and zips his jeans. He goes to give her a hug but she is quick to shy away from the embrace.

Somewhat of a Love Letter
Other than being a male feminist, I also like to think of myself as a philanthropist. (Yeah, I know! Sounds like I’m totally just piling it on now.)

Killer
He's a drug I don't want to be addicted to anymore but he's too addicted to let go of. His kisses are like poison that suffocates my breath. But I love it... And I love him... I think.

How to Help Prevent Bullying
In the United States, more than 30 percent of teenagers are victims of bullying. 160,000 children stay home every day in fear of going to school due to being bullied. And that number grows daily with teens fearful to tell their elders for fear that the bullying activities might somehow grow worse in some way. I personally feel that bullying has grown way out of hand and is a very serious topic that should be addressed within our homes as well as the local school systems.

Love Will Save Our Society
Why can't we all be friendly towards one another? It sounds cliché but I would genuinely like to know. Many humans cannot resist causing misfortune to others. Why can't people discern that we are all simply trying to live our lives as we determine? Everyone has issues in their lives so why make it difficult for someone else? We are all part of this non compos mentis society, so why not begin loving one another in order to ease the pain of the madness which surrounds us? If we all showed compassion along with wisdom and appreciation, society would be much better off.

You CAN Choose a Happier Life
You have a choice! Amazing how simple yet complicated idea lies behind it. If you are one of those people who think that once you choose something, you have to stick to it no matter what; this simple sentence is no longer that simple. How do you overcome this self-belief? When is the time to opt for the choice instead of biting the bullet? Would you be considered a quitter if you decide to leave?

Karma
Ever since I was little, I always heard the word, "Karma." My Mom, peers, and most people I knew used that word a lot. ____________________________________________________________________

It's fun to see how life is strange sometimes. It let you think that things will go easy breezy and that you WILL find stability, love and peace.

Surviving Hurricane Maria
I woke up to the sound of the wind screaming, whistling against the glass windows, beating like battering rams against the walls of our house.

On Borrowed Time
It’s hard to know that you’re going to die. I mean, everyone eventually does, but it’s worse when you know how you’re going to die. I was 32 when I got diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and I was given about three years to live.

The Three Kings Ch. 1
Chapter One: Harmony and General Interest “Even so, of the many different people a person on average meets, it is rare for one to fit almost immediately in harmony and general interest.” –Murray Bail, Eucalyptus
