Those Eyes Cause Me So Much Trouble
I could spend hours watching you sleep peacefully. Yeah, I know it sounds creepy, but I can’t help it. There’s just something about the way you look as you lay on your bare stomach with the left side of your face on the pillow. Your eyes might be closed, but I can see your eyelashes through your brown hair that I keep saying needs a trim. If I look closely at your lips, I can see a small parting for breath in the middle. And oh my, your Cupid’s bow. I know it sounds silly, but you might just have the most perfect Cupid’s bow I have ever seen on a set of lips. It was one of the first things I noticed when I first laid eyes on you.

Complicit Ex-Girlfriend Two Minutes Notice. Content Warning.
Dear Poop Head, I bet that you'd be making the surprised Pikachu face if you were to read all of this. Sure, we got into an awful fight two years ago that led to us taking a break until the end of the month, but we seemed to have ended the relationship on good terms without screams or tears. We eventually returned to texting each other a few months later, and I even showed up to a show that you directed and starred in. Heck, I gave you a hug and returned your stuff.

Don't Take The Bridge Home
“This is Myra. Don’t take the bridge on the way home. The raven will take you.” This was what Donna heard on the other end when she answered the call from an unknown number. Normally, she wouldn’t do such a thing, but she was driving home from a fight with her boyfriend, Brian. She needed to hear someone whose voice wasn’t sharp and disheartening like his. Despite expanding the drive home from twenty minutes to forty, the path she rarely took gave her the privacy and clarity she needed to calm down. Somehow, the sight of the scrawny trees gave her comfort. Even the raven that she was able to catch in the dark seemed like a friend to her. It was almost a shame when she made it out of the woods and to her house.

A Not-So-Sweet Saturday
It was nearly noon on a Saturday, and my tummy was having the rumblies. Sure, I could've just dug into the fruits and veggies that I had bought the day before, but my stomach was craving something more mouthwatering. It cried for something to please the craziest of sweet tooths. Oh, how my teeth screamed for something sweet to chomp into!

Valerie the Vain
Not all twin sisters are willing to do the same things together. Just take Kelly and Rachel, for example. Kelly was always concerned about her looks and focused on her social life. Rachel was more adventurous, and she was so unconcerned about her looks that she was often mistaken as anyone but her twin. If their backs were turned towards you, you'd never guess that the slim brunette with her hair covering her entire back and the curvy girl with the purple bob were twins. The seventeen-year-olds haven’t done the same thing together willingly since they were eleven, and Kelly wasn't planning to let that change.

Clara/Cyrus. Content Warning.
It had only been twenty-five years since America had passed the Healthy and Perfect Child Act, or HAPCA. To millions of Americans, it felt as if over half a century had passed since those simpler days. Granted, disabled rights were hardly the norm prior to 2025, but it wasn't a crime to be disabled in any way. That all changed with the signing of HAPCA in the summer of that year, leading to families being ripped apart long before Christmas. Disabled adults were immediately "put of their misery" while disabled children were sent to institutions to be "corrected". Despite showing no mercy to disabled adults, the government felt the need to give children the chance to be "healthy and perfect". Even if you were a healthy blind child, you were ordered to be corrected until you were "perfect". Not a single child with a physical disability had the chance to survive in those prisons.

A Lesson That Took Me Over A Year To Learn
In order to share the lesson that I've learned in 2024, I need to flash back to May 2023. I was doing what I've loved most, and that was performing onstage. While I love it more than anything today, I didn't love it as much as I loved my boyfriend, Ben (not his real name). We had a lot of things in common, and these included performing, watching horror movies, and the fact that we're both autistic. Although we weren't one hundred percent the same, we had enough in common for me to believe that we were soulmates. If we ever had an argument over anything, we were able to gloss things over and act like nothing ever happened. Pretty easy thing to do when you're an actor. Unfortunately, we could only keep up the act for so long, and things began to crumble after two and a half years together.
