Shameless
She was a character. Literally voted "Class Clown" in her high school yearbook; people knew her based on what they called her "contagious laugh"! It was no show, no act either; it was something innate in her, that she had no control over. She was happy! Despite her intelligence and good grades, every year she dreaded the infamous Parent/Teacher Conference, knowing that the exact same critique would be given by every teacher, and that it wasn’t one that her parents would find amusing. “She’s bright, so much potential, but disruptive/distraction in class.”

Love Me, or Leave Me Alone
I stepped onto the train, just in time to hear the loudspeaker announce, "The doors will be closing now!" A sigh of relief escaped my lips; mingled with the attempts to catch my breath. Another rush hour morning, and as usual, there was barely standing room, much less any empty seats. As I elbowed my way to grasp a hold of the pole, my stomach decided to advocate for the other passengers I had showed no mercy for. A few weeks ago, I thought I needed to start eating breakfast more regularly; a few weeks from now, I don't think getting a seat on the train will be quite as difficult.

Progress
Other people’s words have always seemed more adequate than mine; even when it came to expressing my own inner most feelings. Lyrics, quotes, memes, etc., always from a source rather than myself, are what I have always used to share with the world, the person that I am.
